Rep. Lindsay James

1/Tuesday was only the start. We are up against Joe Mitchell this November, an ultra-wealthy insider who moved to this district only 6 days before announcing he was running. Joe Mitchell has never had to make an impossible economic choice in his life.

The growing affordability crisis in this country isn't just a policy failure, it is a moral failure. It does not have to be this way.

Are you ready to flip IA02, because we sure are!

Have you voted yet? Polls are open until 8 pm today!

Tomorrow is the primary. If you live in Iowa's 2nd District, I hope to earn your vote. You can find voting information here- linktr.ee/lindsayforiowa

Matthew 22:37-39 My faith instructs me to love my neighbor, and I will always love and support my LGBTQ+ neighbors.

Thank you to Senator Donahue for her constant encouragement and energy throughout this primary election. I would not have made it this far without her support.

This is just a Jo appreciation post. Thank you for having a conversation with me.

When I entered the Iowa House in 2019, Senator Liz Bennett (who was serving in the Iowa House at the time) was so incredibly inviting. Her knowledge and advice helped me hit the ground running after getting elected. I am thankful for her continued support throughout the years.

If you aren't already keeping your eyes on Representative Ramirez, you should change that. Young leaders like her are the future of Iowa and I am truly honored to have her support.

Many hands makes light work. Come join us at one of our canvasses!

The video is ours, but this is an actual attack the NRCC put out yesterday.

I will have @raybaccari.bsky.social know that I kept my response to under 50 seconds, which is actually unheard of for a Presbyterian minister.

Every dollar spent on the war in Iran would be better spent here at home.

Higher wages = good 👍

How are you going to pay for it?

Young people want economic opportunity. I'm determined to give it to them.

It would be a mistake to sleep on rural Iowa this election cycle. People are fed up!

While Joe Mitchell is dropping $75k to party at Mar-a-Lago, folks in the district are struggling with daily financial realities.

From labor, to reproductive rights groups, to anti-corruption groups, our message is resonating.

My campaign team tells me that candidates have to eat spicy food for content purposes now. So this is Me vs. Femme Fatali hot sauce at the Decorah Farmer's Market.

With widespread gerrymandering taking place, IA02 is becoming an increasingly critical piece to flipping the US House. Make sure you have a plan to vote in next Tuesday's primaries.

If I am elected to Congress, I cannot promise we will always agree. What I can promise though is that I will always be there to listen and serve.

Some thoughts and reflections on Memorial Day.

Shhh... Senator Townsend is talking to a voter so we need to whisper.

Interview coming this week.

Impromptu focus group on our campaign ads went well I think.

When predatory out of state corporations tried to take advantage of the mobile home residents living in my district, I worked across the aisle to pass legislation that would ensure they are able to stay in their homes.

It is my deep calling: love thy neighbor. The focus of my campaign is using policy to improve Iowan's lives to uplift that spiritual conviction.

It is important to me that I run my campaign in a way that aligns with my values and the things I am talking about on the trail. That is why I am proud that my campaign isn't taking a dime of corporate PAC money.

Day One Priority In Congress- Reversing the brutal cuts to rural healthcare funding.

Unions are the bedrock of economic security in this country. We need to pass the PRO Act.

Our 2nd ad "Homes" just dropped. Check it out and share!

It isn't higher wages or lower unemployment. Higher wages lead to more spending and more growth across the entire economy.

A lot has changed since I first won in 2018 (I am definitely better at interviews now), but the core principles have remained the same. It is about meeting voters at their doors to find out how we can meaningfully improve their lives through policy.

It is time to stop spending our tax dollars on endless wars and to start spending them in our communities.

The path to the majority we need to check this administration goes through IA02. Thank you to @emilyslist.bsky.social for joining us.

We need to achieve affordable healthcare coverage for everyone in this country. A medical emergency shouldn't lead to bankruptcy in the wealthiest country on earth.

Catch me knocking doors in your neighborhood soon (and on your ballot for the June 2nd primary).

Iowans cannot afford an endless war in Iran. As a member of Congress, I will be working to bring the war to an end.

I am willing to work with anyone if it helps my constituents.

Is anyone out there still using a step counter? I definitely got my steps in door knocking Waterloo earlier today.

While talking to voters on the campaign trail, I have been hard-pressed to find a single one who thinks the economy is working for them right now.

The administration is trying to stoke baseless culture war fears to distract from their failed economic policies. I won't play that game.

Please take a minute to watch my closing statement from Wednesday night's debate. I not only have bold ideas but the experience to move those ideas forward in Congress.

Out knocking doors in Mason City. Can you tell it is a bit windy?

We are in the middle of a water crisis and we cannot continue to allow the corporations polluting our waterways to dodge accountability.

A lot of folks have asked what distinguishes me from my primary opponents, and I would say experience. I am the only candidate in this race who has won an election and served as an elected official. I will be ready day one to get to work in DC.

My position is clear. I will do everything in my power to restore Roe v. Wade.

Early voting starts today! If you vote early for me, take a picture and tag us so we can share it.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s interpretation of the Parable of the Good Samaritan has influenced how I approach being a legislator. It isn't just about helping the person on the side of the road. It is about fixing the systemic issues that led to them being harmed in the first place.

People are struggling out there and my faith compels me to take on the broken and corrupt system causing it. It is simply wrong to continue slashing healthcare benefits to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

Budgets are real, and the cuts to Medicaid rammed through in D.C. will lead to further job cuts and hospital closures across Iowa.

As cancer rates continue to balloon in Iowa, our federal delegation has supported policies that will see thousands lose health insurance. This is unacceptable.

Early voting starts May 13th! Learn more about early voting by following the attached link in the comments.
