Got up before dawn this Friday to go on CNN to talk tariffs and farmers and how not having a China trade deal (they have bought NO soybeans from us since May, they usually buy $13 billion) is going to devastate agriculture heavy states like ours. youtube.com/shorts/KWK3KEQ…

@hinsonashley has rolled out some endorsements from top GOP US House leadership & some US Senators, but of note: @NunnForCongress (IA 03) and Iowa House Majority Ldr @Rep_BobbyK (son of Iowa GOP chair) have endorsed her early this eve.
Ashley Hinson@hinsonashley

“Ashley is Iowa through and through—born, raised, and committed to our way of life. She’s proudly pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom. She’s fought to keep boys out of girls’ sports, to keep our borders secure, and to make sure the government in Washington works as hard and honestly as it does in Iowa. Her conservative principles are beyond question, and her loyalty to President Trump’s America First vision is unshakable. She will be the conservative backbone of the Senate and a driving force behind more big wins for the American people.” - @Rep_BobbyK

Iowa House Republicans elect Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton, as new House Majority Leader. He replaces Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley, who stepped down as leader to run for Congress in what may be an open-seat race, as GOP incumbent Randy Feenstra readies a likely bid for governor.

🚨NEWS from me and @allymutnick: ZACH NUNN is telling people he could announce bid for IOWA GOV next week. He’s meeting with the WHITE HOUSE Monday. GOP leaders are loath to lose an incumbent in a tough district. WH meeting could be determinative if he goes forward. link.punchbowl.news/click/40619609…
