Grant Hill, 28, was convicted of indecently exposing himself to a minor and assault with intent to commit sexual abuse in December 2022 according to Iowa’s sex offender registry.
On April 22, he filed documents officially declaring he is running as a GOP candidate for Iowa’s first congressional district, currently held by Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks.
The seat, one of the closest in the country, covers Iowa City, Indianola, Burlington and Davenport. The 69-year-old incumbent is seeking re-election.
Hill pleaded guilty to one charge of indecent exposure to a minor involving ‘masturbation’, after he exposed himself to a 13-year-old boy while working out at a gym in an apartment complex on the outskirts of Iowa City in 2021.
