Ashley Hinson and John Barrasso promote GOP tax cuts in Iowa

U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson and Senator John Barrasso held a campaign event in Ankeny, Iowa, to advocate for Republican-led tax policies. The discussion focused on the 2025 ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Act, which implemented tax cuts on tips and overtime pay.

During the event, local workers and business owners from the healthcare, hospitality, and food industries shared how the tax changes have increased their take-home pay. One participant, a McDonald’s manager, noted that the removal of taxes on overtime has assisted with college expenses and long-term savings.

Barrasso emphasized the importance of maintaining Republican control of Congress in the 2026 elections, arguing that Democrats intend to reverse these specific tax provisions, which he claimed would be harmful to the economy.
