Ashley Hinson, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, made a campaign stop in Mount Pleasant this week to meet with Henry County and share her priorities.
Hinson introduced herself as a “mama bear” who is running to secure a strong future for the next generation. She and her husband, Matt, live in Marion with their two sons, Max and Jax.
“My priorities are Iowa’s priorities,” Hinson said. “I want to make sure President Trump has a strong ally in the Senate to keep Iowa great and make America great again.”
If elected, Hinson said her first focus will be protecting American agriculture. She criticized current trade policies under President Biden and voiced support for strengthening markets for Iowa farmers.
She also highlighted concerns about China, citing the need for tougher trade enforcement and resources for the Department of Justice to hold violators accountable.
Looking ahead to November’s gubernatorial race, Hinson expressed confidence Iowa will continue with strong Republican leadership.
As she closed, Hinson offered encouragement to Henry County voters: “This country is worth fighting for. Iowa values are heartland values, American values, and in me you have someone who will stand up for those values and put Iowa first.”
