Former Iowa state Sen. Rita Hart withdrew her challenge in a U.S. House race she lost to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks by six votes.

Miller-Meeks was certified by the Iowa State Board of Canvassers as the winner after a full recount, and provisionally seated pending the outcome of a challenge by her Democratic opponent, Hart.

After Hart’s announcement, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee announced the panel would move to suspend its review of the race.
