Less Than 30 Days Out from Iowa Primary, Iowans Exposed to Ashley Hinson’s Failing Record
DES MOINES – Less than 30 days out from the Iowa primary, Iowans are getting ready to reject Ashley Hinson’s request for a promotion to the U.S. Senate. She has supported policies that raise prices on gas, groceries and fertilizer, while failing to deliver promised E15 legislation and cutting healthcare.
“One month from the primary and all Ashley Hinson has offered Iowans is higher prices and broken promises,” said Iowa Democratic Party spokesperson Drew Myers. “Iowa voters are living every day with the costs of her failed agenda and will reject her at the ballot box.”
