Last week, WFW PAC announced its endorsement of Rep. Ashley Hinson (IA-02) to be the next U.S. Senator from Iowa! WFW PAC's endorsement comes as GOP leaders are quickly consolidating around her. 

President Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) have all backed Hinson in recent days as she looks to fill the seat being vacated by WFW PAC-backed Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA).

WFW PAC has been proud to back Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) for years, and we thank her for her courageous and principled service to Iowa and the nation. As the first woman ever elected to federal office in Iowa and the first female combat veteran in the U.S. Senate, Ernst's leadership has inspired more women to serve, lead, and break barriers at every level of government.

Her work to support veterans, empower women, and enhance economic opportunities have strengthened communities in Iowa and all across the country. We celebrate the example she has set as a model of courage, humility, and integrity in public life, and know she will continue to make a lasting impact throughout the remainder of her Senate term and beyond. Thank you, Joni!

The WFW entities are committed to supporting women on the right leading in Congress. This week, we're thrilled to highlight Chairwoman Lisa McClain of Michigan. As chair of the House Republican Conference, she is the fourth-ranking Republican in leadership, which makes her the highest-ranking Republican woman in the U.S. House.
