| Cedar Rapids, Iowa – On primary election night, Iowans from different backgrounds and walks of life took the stage to share why they support Ashley Hinson for U.S. Senate. A retired law enforcement leader and lifelong Democrat, a veteran who experienced Ashley’s constituent services firsthand, and a working father all highlighted Ashley’s record of putting results ahead of politics and fighting for Iowa families. Retired Chief Deputy Doug Riniker “Ashley’s actions, character, integrity and experience is everything I look for in a public servant.” Watch his full speech here. “…To be honest, I never imagined I’d be standing at a Republican election night event speaking in support of Ashley. But doing what’s right matters far more than any political affiliation. “[Ashley] has never let political labels get in the way of getting the job done. Ashley’s always known that I’m a Democrat…yet time and again, she reached out for my perspective on law enforcement issues…Real conversations always provide greater solutions. Ashley’s approach to problem solving speaks volumes to her character and leadership style. “For those of us that have worked in the law enforcement profession, trust is not easily given, it has to be earned…Ashley has earned my trust.” Working Father Landis Wiley “She’s living the same challenges Iowa families face.” Watch his full speech here. “[Ashley’s] just like me, just like our family. When she’s not running her own kids around, she’s working hard for all of us. But first and foremost, she takes care of her family. She’s a parent first, and I respect that. “…I’ve known her long before she got into politics. Washington hasn’t changed her at all. “She’s got to confront the same issues that my family does every day. Rising costs everywhere, trying to figure out how we will be able to send three boys to college. Dealing with health insurance. I’m a business owner and it’s not fun. Washington’s done a great job screwing that up. “She knows what we face. She’s not reading about it in a book. Or getting it from briefings. She actually does it…And that means she cares…about the issues, but more importantly about the results.” Cedar Rapids Air Force Veteran Wayne Kreutner “She’s never changed – I suspect she never will.” Watch his full speech here. “I have gotten to know Ashley over the last decade and she has continued to be one of Iowa’s strongest advocates for Iowans in Washington. She’s never changed – I suspect she never will. “When I needed help just a few years ago, with a disability claim that I had at the VA, she was right there to help me…I was incredibly pleased it was resolved more quickly than I ever expected. Ashley’s a strong and honest leader. She will not be outworked. She will stop at nothing to get results…She helps everyone, someone like me.” |
