Issues
See where Ashley stands on the issues most important to Iowa families and businesses:

Lowering Costs & Growing the Economy
Ashley has always believed it is YOUR money, not the government’s money. She has been laser focused on lowering taxes for working families and empowering all Iowans with opportunities.
- Help more families become homeowners by allowing first-time homebuyers to save tax-free for a down payment through the First Home Savings Opportunity Act and ensuring large institutional investors cannot buy up single-family homes in Iowa neighborhoods.
- Make child care more affordable and accessible by expanding tax relief for working families, supporting parents who work nontraditional hours, and encouraging employers to invest in child care solutions.
- Make life more affordable by cutting wasteful spending, lowering inflation, and creating an economy where small businesses can grow and create good-paying jobs.
- Prepare the next generation for success by expanding career and technical education and connecting students with good-paying Iowa jobs.

Healthcare
No matter where you live in Iowa, you should be able to access quality healthcare without driving hours or worrying about the cost. A medical decision shouldn’t be a financial decision. Ashley has worked across the aisle to improve rural healthcare, lower prescription drug costs, and support moms, seniors, veterans, and patients across Iowa who deserve better care.
- Lower prescription drug costs by increasing transparency and holding pharmacy benefit managers accountable. Ashley has also been a champion for expanding over-the-counter birth control access.
- Strengthen rural healthcare by supporting community hospitals, expanding the rural health workforce, and improving access to providers.
- Improve the health of Iowa families by expanding maternal healthcare access, supporting cancer research, and expanding access to preventive care.

Agriculture & Rural Iowa
Agriculture is the lifeblood of Iowa’s economy. Farmers don’t need Washington telling them how to run their operations and handing down regulations, they need an advocate who understands the challenges they face. That’s why Ashley has consistently worked across the aisle to support family farms, strengthen rural communities, and champion Iowa biofuels.
- Protect family farms by pushing back against burdensome regulations, improving voluntary conservation programs, and fighting policies like California’s Proposition 12 that hurt Iowa family farmers.
- Create certainty for Iowa agriculture by expanding export markets and passing a Farm Bill.
- Keep Iowa at the forefront of American energy by championing year-round E15, strengthening biofuels, and investing in homegrown energy production.

Border Security & Public Safety
Every family deserves to feel safe in their home and community. Ashley believes public safety starts with enforcing our laws, supporting law enforcement, and securing our border. She’ll continue fighting for commonsense policies that protect Iowa families while ensuring our immigration system is fair, lawful, and secure.
- Secure the southern border by enforcing America’s immigration laws and deporting dangerous criminal illegal immigrants.
- Combat fentanyl and violent crime by cracking down on traffickers, strengthening partnerships with law enforcement, and holding violent offenders accountable.

Government Accountability
Ashley has been fighting to restore integrity to public service and ensure the government works for the people, not the other way around.
- Ban Members of Congress from trading individual stocks and betting on prediction markets.
- Clean up Washington by enacting commonsense lobbying bans, moving government agencies out of DC and closer to the people they serve, and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse of tax dollars.

Veterans
The men and women who wore our nation’s uniform kept their promise to America. Ashley believes America must keep its promise to them. She has worked across party lines to improve veterans’ healthcare and mental health services, and she’ll continue making sure veterans receive the care, respect, and benefits they’ve earned.
Ashley will:
- Expand access to healthcare and mental health services, particularly for veterans living in rural communities.
- Fully fund the Department of Veterans Affairs and directly advocate for Iowa veterans who need assistance.

Protecting Iowa Values
Iowa values are built on faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. Ashley believes those values are worth protecting here at home and against growing threats abroad. She’ll continue standing up for parents, defending our constitutional freedoms, and ensuring America remains the world’s largest super power.
- Protect parents’ rights by giving families a stronger voice in their children’s education and increasing transparency in schools, especially as some Iowa schools have pushed policies that allow kids to secretly change their gender identity at school.
- Hold Communist China accountable for ripping off American jobs and innovation, purchasing American farmland, and implementing unfair trade practices that hurt Iowa farmers, workers, and businesses.
- Defend Social Security and Medicare benefits that vulnerable Iowans depend on, while rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse that deplete these programs.
