<h4>Statewide Iowa Teamsters Endorses Rep. Lindsay James in IA-02</h4>

<p><strong>Too many Iowans are living pay check to pay check, making impossible choices because of their financial realities.&nbsp; It’s the mom making the impossible choice, do I pay my utility bill or buy my child a winter coat. The Dad, do I put food on the table for my family, or pay the rent.&nbsp;The daughter, do I care for my aging parent or go to work and earn a paycheck. No one should have to make these kinds of choices. DC politicians are turning a blind eye to challenges that hard working families face in our state. Instead of fighting for us, they are more concerned with their billionaire donors, and the predatory corporations that care more about their bottom line than the person behind it.</strong></p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h2>Bring Down the Cost of Living for Working Iowans</h2>

<h4>CNBC: Iowa Home to Some of the “Most Promising Opportunities to Pick Up House Seats”</h4>

<p><strong>Iowa wouldn’t be Iowa without our farmers. I will always stand with the farmers— the stewards of our land, the hands that feed the people of the world, and the legacy of our state.&nbsp; Iowa farmers have had to fight through economic downturns, unpredictable markets, and rising costs. Our farmers cannot wait another decade to pass a new farm bill. They need leaders who will stand with them in the fight for their markets and their pocket books.</strong></p>

<h2>Support Iowa Farmers</h2>

<h4> Defend The Vote endorses Lindsay James in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District race</h4>

<h4>Candidates cite corruption as key issue in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race</h4>

<h4>Lindsay James Decisively Wins Final IA-02 Debate Against Lobbyist Joe Mitchell</h4>

<p><strong>As a mother, I want my children and community to always be safe. But what is happening in America today is not making our communities safer. Congress has clearly failed on both immigration reform, and gun safety reform. We need new leadership who will move common sense policies forward to make sure that our country is safe and free.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<h2>Keep Our Communities Safe</h2>

<h4>‘I’ll keep showing up’</h4>

<h4> Mitchell, James sharpen economic pitches in Iowa’s 2nd District </h4>

<h4> Lindsay James on protecting Social Security, preventing benefit cuts </h4>

<h4>Ironworkers Local 89 Endorses Rep. Lindsay James in IA-02</h4>

<h4>Trump sinking Republican hopes in Iowa</h4>

<h4>Forecaster shifts Iowa US House District 2 from 'likely Republican' to 'lean Republican'</h4>

<h4>Lindsay James Releases New TV Ad “Broken Road” About the Parable of the Good Samaritan</h4>

<p><strong>As a working mom of two teenagers, I know what parents and kids are going through and it’s tough. Our kids are dealing with an education system that has been systemically underfunded, and Iowa is dealing with a Private School Voucher scheme designed to benefit the most fortunate amongst us. Education is the ultimate equalizer in our country. The government should make sure it stays that way. To fuel American innovation, our public education system must be robust, challenging, and state of the art. Congress has failed and we are letting our kids fall behind countries around the world.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<h2>Protect Our Education System</h2>

<h4>Lindsay James Statement on Vote to Extend ACA Tax Credits That 26,000 Iowans Rely On in IA-02</h4>

<h4>Lindsay James Hauls in IA-02 Record-Breaking $1.89 Million in Q3</h4>

<h4>She’s been a minister, a chaplain, and a state rep. Now Lindsay James is running for Congress</h4>

<h4>It's a Scary Time to be a Parent</h4>

<h4>Centrist Democrats back more candidates</h4>

<p><strong>Veterans deserve to be able to build the life they know they deserve when they return home. But with the cost of living crisis, rising healthcare costs, and lack of affordable housing, they are forced to make impossible decisions. It's time to stand alongside our veterans and remove the barriers in their way.</strong></p>

<h2>Stand With Veterans</h2>

<h4>Lindsay James Touts Labor Support with AFSCME National and Council 61 Presidents</h4>

<h4>Elect Democratic Women Endorses Lindsay James for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District</h4>

<h4>Rating changes: 10 of 11 races shift toward Democrats</h4>

<h4>U.S. House Candidate Lindsay James (D-IA) Speaks to Reporters in Mason City</h4>

<p><strong>No one in the United States should have to face bankruptcy because of a healthcare emergency. No one in our country should have to ration life saving medication because of high costs and deductibles, or travel hundreds of miles to receive quality care. As Iowa cancer rates increase and rural healthcare faces incredible financial strain, we need urgent policy changes.</strong></p>

<h4>The Hawkeye State of Play: Key Iowa Races</h4>

<h4>Dubuquer sets sights on Congress after winning Democratic nomination</h4>

<p><strong>Washington is riddled with corruption and greed. Our system of government has been rigged for billionaires and large corporations which seek only to expand their bottom line. Money in politics has led to toxic partisanship which seeks to divide us, distract us, and to keep us down. In order to create a healthier system, we have to get money out of politics.</strong></p>

<h2>End DC Corruption</h2>

<h4>James, Mitchell to face off for Rep. Hinson's 2nd District seat</h4>

<h4>How the GOP motivated these women faith leaders to run for Congress as Democrats</h4>

<h4>Beyond the Podium: 2nd Congressional District candidate Lindsay James</h4>

<p><strong>With the rise of social media and AI – it’s never been scarier to be a parent. I consistently hear from parents at PTO meetings or on the campaign trail who are worried about keeping their kids safe and healthy. I understand and I am too. It's time for Congress to put control of kids screens back in the hands of parents, not big tech.</strong><br></p>
