When will the chaos in Congress end?

These days, it feels like Congress is hanging on by a thread. The chaos and dysfunction in D.C. have reached a breaking point. Enough is enough. After being put through the wringer of 2020, all Americans want is a return to normalcy. The excessive spending of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress is making this goal way harder to achieve than it should be. It is as if the Democrats don't know, or don't care, that it is the hardworking taxpayers who are footing the bill for their wasteful spending sprees through higher prices and taxes on gas, groceries, and other everyday items.
U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson ran on a promise to hold Pelosi and the Democrats accountable and to stand up for us taxpayers. Making good on her promise, Rep. Hinson has been a real beacon of hope for us Iowans. She's fighting back for us and still is able to get important work done for her constituents. To my fellow Iowans: we must re-elect Ashley Hinson in 2022 to help her continue the fight. We need a strong conservative voice in D.C. to remind the Democrats that money does not magically appear out of thin air and help subdue the chaos in Congress.
