In response to Lindsay James’ election to the U.S. House of Representatives, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Lindsay James, the Iowa Democratic Party, and all the organizers who worked to flip this seat from red to blue. Rooted in Iowa values from her time as a chaplain and state representative, Lindsay will lead Iowans with compassion while working to build a better future for everyone. In the House, she will be a reliable champion for lowering costs, protecting healthcare, creating good-paying jobs, making housing and childcare more affordable, investing in rural communities, and leveling the playing field for all Iowans to achieve the American Dream.”
