Can we take a moment to consider Sarah Corkery for 2nd District representative to the U.S. Congress? Sarah is a fighter for the middle class and marginalized communities. She beat breast cancer, is the mother of a child with disabilities, an adoptive parent, and a small-business owner. She raised over $1 million to build a disability-accessible park in Cedar Falls. That is what community service is about. Sarah supports policies that promote public education, reproductive rights, gun safety, and environmental sustainability.
Opposing Sarah is Rep. Ashley Hinson, a MAGA candidate who has been endorsed by Donald Trump. Well, isn’t that special? Endorsed by a pathological liar, a convicted felon, and someone who wants to destroy the Constitution. That alone should disqualify her. Both are tied to Project 2025 no matter how they try to deny it. Their policies align with these radical policies to destroy the middle class and uphold the white supremacist hold on our country.
We need responsible leaders in government. Sarah is the ideal choice to do just that. It is high time to get rid of the radical Ashley Hinson and send Sarah Corkery to Congress. Let’s send Ashley packing, just like we sent Moms for Liberty packing last November.
