Ashley Hinson, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Iowa’s 2nd district, shared insights into her recent activities and legislative efforts through a series of tweets. Her posts on February 18, 2025, highlighted discussions about aviation safety, federal agency relocation, and support for agricultural education.

In a tweet from February 18, 2025, Hinson expressed gratitude towards the team at Waterloo Regional Airport for their hospitality during her visit. She stated: "I appreciate the team at Waterloo Regional Airport showing me their operation today. We discussed aviation safety and the importance of regional airports to Iowa’s economy."

Later that day, Hinson addressed the location of federal agencies in relation to those affected by their decisions. She tweeted: "There is no good reason the Department of Agriculture should be thousands of miles from farmers who are most impacted by agency decisions. My SWAMP Act would move federal agencies out of DC and closer to the people they serve. Drain the Swamp!" This statement reflects her advocacy for relocating certain federal entities closer to communities directly influenced by their policies.

In another post on February 18, 2025, she celebrated FFA Week by acknowledging the contributions of Future Farmers of America (FFA) to young individuals pursuing careers in agriculture. She remarked: "It's FFA Week! I'm thankful for the opportunities, community, and support this organization provides for the next generation of farmers, producers, and leaders in ag! #FFAWeek"
