Ashley Hinson is the advocate Iowa agriculture needs in the U.S. Senate. She listens to us, and fiercely advocates for our needs when the Washington status quo is stacking the deck against us.
She’s fought to expand market access for Iowa producers through stronger trade agreements. She is also the leading voice to overturn Prop 12 — a California ballot measure that is driving up food costs. Ashley isn’t afraid to reach across the aisle to do what’s right for us. She will be a phenomenal champion for Iowa agriculture in the Senate!
