Ashley Hinson, representing Iowa’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, shared recent updates via social media concerning regional and national matters. Hinson, a member of Congress since 2021 and a former member of the Iowa House of Representatives, actively engages with her constituents through various platforms.

On April 28, 2025, Hinson notified high school students residing or studying in Iowa’s Second District of an extension to the deadline for the Congressional Art Competition submissions. She stated, "Attention #IA02 high school students I’ve extended the deadline for Congressional Art Competition submissions to Wednesday, April 30th at 5pm! This competition is open to all students who live or go to school in Iowa’s Second District. For more info, visit".

Later that same day, Hinson remarked on the security of the nation's borders under the administration of President Trump. According to her post at 21:21, "America's border is the most secure in our nation’s history, and @POTUS accomplished that in seven weeks. President Trump and his administration have accomplished more than Joe Biden did in four years. Truly remarkable."

In another post on April 28, 2025, Hinson expressed support for the TAKE IT DOWN Act, a legislative measure aimed at enhancing online safety for children. She tweeted, "Today I voted for the TAKE IT DOWN Act because we must do more to protect our children online—and this bill is a critical first step. Thank you @SenTedCruz, @RepMariaSalazar, & @FLOTUS for leading on this important legislation and holding bad actors accountable!"

Ashley Hinson, a graduate of the University of Southern California, resides in Marion, Iowa, and has made significant contributions in her role in Congress since stepping in to replace Abby Finkenauer in 2021.
