- Lindsay James, a Democrat and ordained Presbyterian pastor, announced her 2025 campaign for Iowa's 2nd Congressional District against Republican incumbent Ashley Hinson.
- James launched her campaign motivated by constituents' struggles and opposition to Hinson's support of President Trump's tax and spending bill favoring billionaires over working families.
