Ashley Hinson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Iowa’s 2nd district since 2021, recently shared her perspectives on social media. Hinson, who succeeded Abby Finkenauer in this role, previously served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 2017 to 2021. Born in Des Moines and currently residing in Marion, she holds a BA from the University of Southern California.
On December 10, 2024, Hinson expressed her views regarding DC statehood. She described it as "a scheme to gain Democrat control of Congress, stack SCOTUS, & enact a radical left agenda," adding that "Americans made it clear they want America to run more like Iowa, not DC." "Original quotation"
Later that day, Hinson congratulated Caitlin Clark for receiving an unspecified honor. She noted that "Caitlin Clark has changed the game forever and Iowa could not be more proud!" "Original quotation"
On December 11, 2024, Hinson commented on the conditions in Washington D.C., suggesting that it needs significant improvements. She recommended IA02 as "a great place to live, work, and raise a family," contrasting it with places where "toothpaste isn’t locked behind glass at the drugstore." "Original quotation"
