GET ME REWRITE: Iowa Republican Ashley Hinson campaigns for her 2026 Democratic challenger

 

Headline:  Des Moines Register, 5/28/2025

Sabine Martin reports:

Hinson's two fiery town halls in Elkader and Decorah on Wednesday, May 28, were the first large in-person public forums she's held since U.S. House Republicans went home for a week-long recess after passing Trump's comprehensive budget and policy bill overnight May 22.

"I believe the president is fighting for you, and I'm fighting alongside him," she said in her opening comments. "I do think the president was saved that day in Butler, Pennsylvania, for a reason." 

Although there were moments of applause for the Iowa Republican, the audience erupted in jeers and called Hinson a "liar" and booed her during the separate hour-long events she held with more than 300 attendees.
