Ashley Hinson: “That’s why we’re here and that’s why we do what we do.”

I’m heartbroken that my friend and one of the most amazing Iowans I know, Ray Gaesser, is no longer with us.

Tonight, I hope that we can agree on this, that the campaign is behind us and the work of serving the people of Iowa remains ahead.

I think the president would consider me a little bit of a thorn in his side because when we do talk, I’m always asking him for something for Iowa.

It is time to put politics aside, dial down the rhetoric, and start solving problems for Iowa's families and Iowa's farmers.
