    Both candidates on the ballot in Iowa's 1st Congressional District will face each other in a televised debate Monday night.

    Iowa PBS will host a debate at 8 p.m. Monday at Iowa PBS studios in Johnston between Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Christina Bohannan.

    The Nov. 5 general election represents a rematch for the two after Bohannan unsuccessfully ran to unseat Miller-Meeks in 2022. Miller-Meeks was narrowly elected to the seat representing southeastern Iowa in 2020, winning by six votes against Democrat Rita Hart.

    The 1st District encompasses 20 counties, including the cities of Davenport, Iowa City, Burlington and rural southeast Iowa.

    Bohannan has out-raised Miller-Meeks for five quarters in a row in the highly competitive race, which Democratic and Republican groups have heavily targeted as the parties vie for control of Congress.

    Election analysts with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rate the race as a pure "toss up," its most competitive category.

    Here's what to know about the debate.
