“Abby Signed Up To Become A Two-Time Loser.”
Washington, D.C – Today, the NRSC released the following statement after failed, former Congresswoman Abby Finkenauer announced her U.S. Senate campaign:
“Abby Finkenauer and her far-Left positions are indistinguishable from those of Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the socialist squad, so it’s not surprising Iowans fired her just last year,” said NRSC press secretary Katharine Cooksey. “Today, Abby signed up to become a two-time loser. Unlike Abby Finkenauer, Iowans do not support funding Sanctuary Cities, radical tax hikes, socialist spending sprees, and big government policies like Medicare for All. Iowans believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and creating opportunities across the state. They know Senator Chuck Grassley is in Washington fighting for those beliefs every day. Iowa needs a true conservative leader like Chuck Grassley in the Senate, not somebody like Abby Finkenauer who will work to destroy Iowans’ livelihoods.”
During her short time in the U.S. House, Abby Finkenauer voted with Nancy Pelosi 93% of the time, all on policies that hurt Iowans.
- Finkenauer voted to fund Sanctuary Cities, allow illegal immigrants to vote, and opposed efforts to secure the border.
- Finkenauer opposes Iowa’s Right to Work laws and would require every Iowa worker to join unions against their will.
- Finkenauer supports Medicare for All, which would bankrupt our country and destroy the Medicare system.
- Finkenauer is bought and paid for by D.C.’s abortion lobby. She supports forcing taxpayers to fund abortions and voted against providing medical care to babies born-alive after a failed abortion attempt.
- Finkenauer voted to hand D.C. the reins of Iowa’s elections and to use Iowans’ hard-earned tax dollars to fund her political campaign.
- Finkenauer was Iowa’s first one-term Member of Congress in more than 50 years
