As workers across northeast Iowa celebrate Labor Day and the rights they’ve achieved, Ashley Hinson is continuing her campaign to bring the same disastrous anti-worker policies she pushed in Des Moines to Washington.
In the Iowa Statehouse, Hinson has racked up one of the most anti-worker records in Des Moines – including voting to cut unemployment benefits that are keeping Iowans afloat during the coronavirus pandemic, voting to jeopardize public workers’ retirement, voting to gut collective bargaining rights, and voting to cut workers’ hard-earned compensation benefits.
Meanwhile, Representative Abby Finkenauer has an unrivaled record of standing up for people across Iowa’s first district. A lifelong Iowan and the daughter of a working-class family, Rep. Finkenauer has made her life about fighting for working Iowans. In her first term, Rep. Finkenauer has already passed legislation to help rural small businesses create more jobs, advocated for famers and workers impacted by the trade war, and worked to secure relief for Iowans impacted by crises like the coronavirus pandemic and recent derecho storm.
“Ashley Hinson has been a disaster for working families. After just a few years in the State House, Hinson has built one of the most anti-worker records in Iowa, repeatedly voting to cut workers’ compensation, keep wages low, and opposing the use of American-made materials. For Hinson, it’s always about her party bosses and special interest donors – not the working people who built this country,” said DCCC Spokesperson Brooke Goren.
