Iowa GOP House Members Will Report a Record Fundraising Quarter
7 Apr 2021
Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) and Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) will report a record-breaking fundraising quarter after the Democrats’ campaign arm targets their Iowa seats as an offensive opportunity.
This comes after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced their list of 22 seats they are looking to play offense on and pad their Democrat majority with more seats. Hinson and Miller-Meeks were both on their list.
Hinson will report she has raised over $570,000 with more than $400,000 cash-on-hand in the first quarter of 2021, initially reported on Tuesday by the Iowa Field Report. Hinson also added more than 3,500 new donors. The amount raised is likely a record-breaking number for an Iowa congressional incumbent, said the Field Report. This will put Hinson in a solid position to fend off any Democrat challenger in the 2022 midterm.
