At the Iowa State Fair, Democratic congressional candidate Lindsay James emphasized her commitment to lowering healthcare costs and redirecting government spending towards supporting Iowans rather than foreign conflicts. She criticized federal policies that have resulted in rising costs for essentials like healthcare and food, claiming that many Iowans are facing tough choices between basic necessities. James proposed reversing cuts to the Affordable Care Act and enhancing transparency in the pharmaceutical industry. In contrast, her Republican opponent, Joe Mitchell, promotes anti-corruption measures despite accusations from James regarding his lobbying background, a claim his campaign disputes. The 2nd Congressional District seat will be open as incumbent Ashley Hinson runs for the U.S. Senate.
