Rep. Ashley Hinson Supports Republican Budget That Would Gut Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare; Hurt Iowa Farmers

As Republican Study Committee Cozies Up With Trump, Reminder that Hinson Stands With Their Disastrous Agenda 

The Republican Study Committee just released their latest proposed budget, confirming yet again that Rep. Ashley Hinson is out of touch with Iowa values.

The Republican proposal supported by Hinson is a far-right wish list which would be a threat to Iowans’ health care. The proposal includes putting Medicaid on the chopping block and rolling back Social Security and Medicare for seniors.

And that’s not all. If Hinson and the Republican Study Committee had their way, they’d end the renewable fuel standard, slash crop insurance, and eliminate dairy subsidies, hurting Iowa farmers — a move that would break Hinson’s promise of supporting the renewable fuel standard and Iowa’s biofuel producers.

“Ashley Hinson’s support for a budget proposal which would wreck the health and economic well-being of hard-working families is the latest reminder that she’s more interested in standing with Washington Republicans than Iowans,” said DCCC spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “Iowans deserve better than a representative who promises to sell out seniors, farmers, and small businesses to stand with party leaders.”
