WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – Autumn in Washington is a time of change. As the weather cools, and the leaves fall, new lawmakers arrive at the Capitol.
One of them is Rep.-elect Ashley Hinson, who is coming off a win in the tight race for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District.
“I just literally put pedal to the metal,” Hinson said. “I was out in the district in my ‘mom van,’ and I think that made the difference to the people of Iowa’s 1st District.”

Seven women marched across the U.S. Capitol building on October 8, 1991 to demand the Senate allow Anita Hill an opportunity to be heard and defend herself during future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearings.These weren’t just any women, these were seven United States representatives out of just 29 serving in the House at that time. Right in the middle of the group was my Congress member, Nita Lowey, from the lower Hudson Valley.
Over the next three decades Rep. Lowey often stood up, literally or metaphorically, to fight for the rights of women and girls to healthcare and education, against hate in any form and safety in every way. On the cusp of her impending retirement, she deserves to be recognized, and thanked, as one of the most consistent, passionate and successful progressive champions in Congress over the last several decades.
