Marion, IA – Today, Ashley Hinson, the Republican nominee for Congress in Iowa’s First Congressional District, announced the endorsement of 75 small business stakeholders from across all 20 counties. This announcement follows the National Federation of Independent Businesses endorsement of Hinson over Congresswoman Finkenauer last week. Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg will chair Hinson’s Small Business Advisory Committee. Members of the committee will provide policy recommendations and guidance throughout the campaign and in Congress.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I will use these folks as a soundboard to help guide my decisions during the campaign and when I get to Congress. As a legislator, I always prioritize ending the over-regulation and red tape that has hurt our small businesses and their employees. Like many of us, small businesses have endured severe hardships due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, more than ever, we must work together to create an environment where small businesses can prosper and grow. I am thrilled to have Lieutenant Governor Gregg leading this effort.” – State Representative Ashley Hinson
“Small businesses are key drivers of economic growth in rural Iowa, and Iowa’s economic resurgence is only possible by making sure they can succeed. Ashley has been a champion for small business growth in the state legislature, and I know she will continue to be an outstanding advocate for them in Congress.” – Lt. Governor Adam Gregg, Chair of Small Business Advisory Committee
“On a daily basis, small businesses have to deal with excessive regulations and onerous taxes. Ashley Hinson has the experience and passion necessary to be the small business leader Iowans can rely on. We need a strong voice fighting for us in Washington D.C.” – Jerry Akers, Great Clips
