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 whoâs funding her campaign. Itâs time to drain the swamp - for real - and elect new leaders who will put Iowans first. Every time.

US Senate rejects dueling health care bills. How Iowa senators voted:
The US Senate rejected a bill to extend expiring ACA subsidies, leaving little time to stop health care premiums from spiking for Obamacare enrollees.

Iowans need a Senator focused on bringing down costs for families rather than giving handouts to their billionaire and corporate donors. It's time to take on the corruption in DC and put money back in Iowans' pockets.

Iowans gathered outside of Ashley Hinsonâs office today to demand she protect our healthcare and reopen the government. If she doesnât act, 24,000 Iowans will lose health insurance, and over 115,000 Iowans will see costs skyrocket.
