Early life

Konfrst was born on December 24, 1973, in Macomb, Illinois.[1] She grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Webster, Florida.[2] She graduated with a bachelors of arts degree in journalism and mass communications and a masters of public administration from Drake University.[3] She worked for Iowa PBS for twelve years.[4][5] She is an associate professor of journalism and strategic political communication at Drake University.[1][6][7] She and her husband, Lee, have two children.[4]

Political career

She first ran to represent the 43rd district in the Iowa House of Representatives in 2016, but lost to Republican incumbent Chris Hagenow.[8][9] In 2018, Hagenow moved to the 19th district.[10] Konfrst ran again for the newly-open seat and won. She won re-election in 2020.[1][11] Konfrst sits on the administration and rules committee, the judiciary committee, the local government committee, the state government committee and the transportation committee.[1] She was the assistant minority leader in 2019 and 2020 and the minority whip in 2021. When Todd Prichard stepped down as the House minority leader in 2021, Konfrst was elected on June 14, 2021 as the new House minority leader. She is the first woman to hold this position in Iowa.[12][13]
