Pete’s been in the trenches of tough fights and I’m proud to have his support. I’m running to take on the monopolies, break the grip of special-interest money, and put power back where it belongs: with hardworking Iowa families.

Operating Engineers are the people who literally build this country — running the heavy equipment, maintaining the machinery, and getting the job done safely and professionally. This campaign is about standing up for working-class families, and I’m proud to have the support of Local 150 & Local 234.

Ashley Hinson has now voted multiple times to keep Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs in place — tariffs that have slammed Iowa farmers, squeezed our ag economy, and raised prices on hardworking families and retirees.

It shouldn’t be hard for Ashley Hinson to condemn Donald Trump’s post depicting the Obama’s as apes. But that would require her to have an ounce of political courage.

On Feb 5th, State Senators Zach Wahls &Tom Townsend filed a bill to protect manufactured home communities in Iowa. In 2018, Zach filed a similar bill, which received unanimous support passing the Iowa Senate. Thanks to Ashley Hinson the bill never made it to the house.

During my first year in office, out-of-state private equity companies started buying up mobile home communities across Iowa. Rents skyrocketed, and I rallied the Senate to pass a bipartisan bill to protect residents' rights. But then-State Rep. Ashley Hinson killed that bill.

Ashley Hinson is starting 2026 the same way she ended 2025 - by voting to make Iowans’ health care more expensive. Whether it’s cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, or the Affordable Care Act, Ashley Hinson is hellbent on making our lives more expensive.

Ashley Hinson has sided with insurance companies and big pharma again and again while Iowans get screwed. If you want to know why, just look at who’s funding her campaign. It’s time to drain the swamp - for real - and elect new leaders who will put Iowans first. Every time.
