Jermaine Decker is running for the U.S. House in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. Decker is listed with the affiliation UN in a contested race that includes 11 other candidates.

Decker’s background and affiliation

Decker has no candidate biography on file. The candidate listing identifies Decker’s affiliation only as UN, without a longer party name.

No documented policy positions are on file for Decker. There are also no figures on file for the campaign’s funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. Those categories cover money received by the campaign, campaign expenditures and the amount remaining in its account.

That means Decker’s entry currently establishes the candidate’s name, listed affiliation, office sought and election date, but does not set out a personal or professional background, positions on public issues or campaign finance totals.

The full candidate field

The race includes candidates listed as Democrats, Republicans and UN. Each candidate’s entry currently lacks a biography, documented policy positions and figures for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand.
