He remained very popular in the 1st even as his district turned increasingly Democratic, especially from the 1990s onward. For most of his career, he represented the Democratic strongholds of Davenport, <a href="/wiki/Cedar_Rapids" class="mw-redirect" title="Cedar Rapids">Cedar Rapids</a> and <a href="/wiki/Iowa_City" class="mw-redirect" title="Iowa City">Iowa City</a>. The district had last supported a Republican for president in 1984, and by the mid-1990s most of its state legislators were Democrats. The district became even more Democratic after the 2000 census, in which it was renumbered the 2nd District. Additionally, his hometown of Davenport, which had anchored the district for decades, was drawn into the 1st District (previously the 2nd District). Leach seriously considered running against fellow Republican incumbent <a href="/wiki/Jim_Nussle" title="Jim Nussle">Jim Nussle</a> in the 1st District primary. Had he done so, it was considered very likely that the reconfigured 2nd would have been taken by a Democrat. However, Leach opted to move to Iowa City in the reconfigured 2nd and won reelection two more times. Still, it was considered very likely that Leach would be succeeded by a Democrat once he retired. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2006_election">2006 election</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jim_Leach&amp;action=edit&amp;section=6" title="Edit section: 2006 election"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 2006, Leach was defeated in a considerable upset by Democratic opponent <a href="/wiki/Dave_Loebsack" title="Dave Loebsack">Dave Loebsack</a>, a political science professor at <a href="/wiki/Cornell_College" title="Cornell College">Cornell College</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Loebsack had only qualified for the Democratic primary as a write-in candidate, and Leach was not on many Democratic target lists.
