Ashley Hinson: “We will not have to worry about him representing Iowa, because we will defeat him in November.”

“One of the most insulting parts of the campaign, in my mind, is the suggestion that our farmers only care about the bottom line, that they don’t care about the welfare of the animals that they are raising,” Hinson said.

I would say both parties are blaming for where we are right now in terms of government spending.

If it drags on beyond that, it's a political liability for us too. Because we've lost Iowa soldiers.

We grow the highest quality beef here in Iowa, and so absolutely, I’ll be advocating to the administration because I think we need to be focusing on growing the herd the right way and protecting our cattlemen.
