Welcome back to the second installment of Hitting The Airwaves. Here are the newest political ads you need to see.
First up – Iowa’s Second Congressional
From the release:
“Veterans should never have to go without the help and support they need, no matter where they live in Iowa. This bipartisan bill was an important step toward improving mental health care access for our veterans, and I will never stop fighting to ensure those who served receive care for both the physical wounds and emotional scars of war. I speak on behalf of all Iowans when I say that we will always have the backs of the brave men and women who risked it all for our country.” – Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
Transcript:
Coming home from Afghanistan was tough; two of my buddies took their own lives. And I was in a really dark place.
But I got help, and that’s the main reason I wasn’t next. No veteran should ever be forgotten.
I’m really proud Ashely Hinson expanded mental health care for veterans in rural areas.
What Ashley Hinson did is gonna saves lives, and that’s not politics. That’s the truth.”

Transcript:
Miller-Meeks: My Iowa story begins right here over three decades ago. A residency at the university brought me to the state I’ll forever call home.
Iowans are caring, helping people. As a doctor, what more could I want? We’re hard-working families who come together for good. That’s what makes Iowa and America great.
I’m Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. You deserve someone in Congress who knows your life and fights your fight, that’s what I do, and that’s why I approve this message.
