Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to Liz Mathis announcing her campaign for Iowa's First Congressional District: 

"Iowans can see through the moderate charade Mathis tried to present for years. It takes one look at her record to understand Mathis has entrenched herself in radical partisanship.

"While in the State Senate, Mathis opposed getting Iowa's students back in the classroom, and now that they are back, Mathis wants our children to be indoctrinated with Critical Race Theory. It's this ridiculousness that Mathis wants to push at the federal level. Now that she has entered the race, Iowans must stand up and defeat her next November. 

"Ashley Hinson has brought Iowa commonsense back to Washington. As one of the fiercest conservative fighters in Congress, Hinson has stood up to the reckless spending of the Biden Administration and has delivered for Iowa's workers, families, farmers, and main street businesses. I look forward to seeing Hinson continue her fight in the years to come."
