Ashley Hinson, a representative from Iowa's 2nd District in Congress, often engages with agricultural, religious, and healthcare matters in her communications on social media. Following her previous service in the Iowa House of Representatives, Hinson has actively expressed her perspectives and extended condolences and acknowledgments through her platforms.

On April 20, 2025, Hinson extended recognition to a fellow politician with the tweet: "Thank you for bringing this issue front and center, @epaleezeldin! Iowa farmers are the best stewards of their land — it’s time for a clear WOTUS rule that respects landowners and provides regulatory clarity for our producers." In this post, she highlighted the significance of establishing a clear Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule, emphasizing the necessity of regulatory clarity for landowners and agricultural producers.

A day later, on April 21, 2025, Hinson shared her condolences in response to the passing of a leading religious figure, posting: "Rest in peace, Pope Francis. He inspired many with his humility and compassion. My deepest condolences go to Catholics around the globe this Easter Monday." Her message reflected a global sentiment of respect and mourning during the Easter Monday.

While visiting a healthcare facility, Hinson remarked upon a specific team on April 22, 2025, stating: "Today, I visited MercyOne’s facility in Waterloo and was blown away by their Maternal Transport Team. This team delivers critical, coordinated care to Iowa’s expecting moms facing high-risk labor—combining the expertise of NICU, maternal, flight, and EMT teams." Her visit underscores the importance of cohesive and specialized care for high-risk pregnancies in Iowa.

Ashley Hinson is a congressional representative who has been serving Iowa's 2nd District since 2021, following her tenure in the Iowa House of Representatives. She has lived in Marion, Iowa most of her life, and is a 2004 graduate of the University of Southern California.
