Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) today officially announced her candidacy for the United States Senate, vowing to be President Trump’s strongest ally in the Senate and deliver for hardworking Iowans. A trusted ally of President Donald J. Trump, Hinson has a proven conservative record in the House and will take that same fight to the Senate to deliver even more wins for Iowans.
“The America First agenda is working for Iowans. I’m running for Senate because there’s more work to do, and I am prepared to win and deliver,” said Congresswoman Hinson. “My priorities are Iowans’ priorities — I hear them every day. Securing our borders and deporting illegal aliens. Keeping men out of girls’ sports and returning common sense to classrooms. Defending our farmers and supporting Iowa agriculture. Promoting peace through strength with the strongest and most lethal military in the world. Strengthening Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security for our seniors. And helping young Iowans who are trying to buy a house and start a family. I’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with President Trump to reverse the woke craziness and put working families first. In the Senate, I’ll be President Trump’s strongest ally and deliver the America First agenda.”
Ashley Hinson is a proud Iowan and former Emmy-winning TV anchor. Before Congress, she served in the Iowa state House, where she delivered on balancing the budget, cutting taxes, and protecting vulnerable Iowans. In Washington, she champions America First, pro-worker, pro-growth policies, serves on the House Appropriations Committee and the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and fights every day for Iowa families, farmers, and veterans. A mother of two boys, Hinson lives in Marion with her husband, Matt, and remains active in her community through music and volunteer work.
Hinson also offered praise of Senator Joni Ernst (IA):
“Service defines Senator Joni Ernst — from serving her country in uniform to fiercely fighting for Iowans in the U.S. Senate. Her story — from Red Oak to the Senate, is a powerful example of the American dream. Our country and state are better off because of Joni’s selfless service — I lead a heartfelt thank you from every Iowan.”
