DCCC spokesperson Katie Smith released the following statement after Ashley Hinson announced she will vacate IA-02 to run for Senate:
“Ashley Hinson sees the writing on the wall: her re-election prospects are doomed because Northeast Iowans see that she is more focused on serving billionaires than working for them. Hinson fleeing her voters is just the latest sign of no confidence in Washington Republicans’ agenda of raising prices, cutting health care, and looking out for special interests above all else. Hinson knows what we know: there’s change coming in Iowa, Democrats will compete aggressively to flip this seat, and we will win because Iowans are ready to elect someone who actually puts them first.”
REMINDER: Last Tuesday, Iowa Democrats won a special election in a Trump +11 Iowa state senate district – an overperformance of 22 points for Democrats. This is the FOURTH straight Democratic overperformance in Iowa legislative special elections this year. |
