I’m McKenzie Wilson, Abby’s press secretary, and I’m reaching out to make sure you saw the email from Wednesday, team.
Integrity matters in our leaders, and Ashley Hinson proved she doesn’t have what it takes to honestly and transparently represent Iowans.
Iowa can't afford a Congresswoman who will simply regurgitate partisan talking points and fall in line with party leaders. That's not leading -- that's following.
We need to make sure everyone knows that’s exactly what Hinson’s agenda is. But that will take resources, so if you can, chip in here and help us inform every Iowan voter.
Thank you,
McKenzie Wilson
Press Secretary

Subject: Serial plagiarism
You may have heard, team, that reporters discovered repeated incidents of plagiarism by our opponent, Ashley Hinson -- bad by any standards, but even worse for a former journalist who should know better.
Hinson copied and pasted passages from The New York Times, The Des Moines Register, and even Abby’s website.
While it’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we didn’t need Ashley Hinson’s approval to know that Abby is doing a good job representing Iowans in Washington.
But even though Hinson’s serial plagiarism was brought to light, it won’t matter if voters don’t hear about it. So, if you can, chip in to our campaign and help us inform every voter so they can make the right choice in November >>
But there’s more. Not only did Hinson plagiarize, but she blamed a Washington consultant who wrote those policy pieces. What other decisions is she turfing out to Washington? Your health care? Your Social Security?
Iowa deserves an independent voice, not a rubber stamp for Washington special interests and the DC political machine.
We have to make sure every voter knows exactly what Hinson is all about. So, make a contribution today, and help our campaign spread the word: Ashley Hinson can’t be trusted to represent YOU, so she can’t be trusted with your vote.
Thank you,
Team Abby
