DCCC Statement on Ashley Hinson Reportedly Making Plans To Jump Into Iowa’s Senate Race

CNN: “Rep. Ashley Hinson is making plans to jump into the race, one GOP official says”

Following news that Joni Ernst will not seek re-election and that Ashley Hinson is making plans to get into the Iowa Senate race, DCCC spokesperson Katie Smith released the following statement:

“Ashley Hinson is clearly eager to jump off the sinking ship that is her re-election in Iowa’s 2nd district. Hinson is terrified to face her voters, who’ve had a front row seat as she’s prioritized Washington and billionaires while voting to raise Iowans’ costs. There’s change coming in Iowa: voters are ready for new leadership and no matter what Hinson decides, she will lose her seat.”

REMINDER: On 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.
