five times voting in favor of the tariffs, seven times voting in favor of the war with Iran, this war that has led to gas prices going up here in Iowa more than any other state. Diesel prices being in at all time high as our farmers are out there harvesting the crops and leading to an increase in fertilizer prices so much that century farmers are worried about going into foreclosure. This is someone that has voted for cuts to healthcare, food assistance and social security just to give tax breaks to billionaires. Can you imagine in a state with a healthcare crisis and a cancer crisis, she's been in favor of $33 million in cancer research funding coming to the state? I mean 119 ,000 Iowans seeing their healthcare premiums double or triple? We're only a state of 3 .2 million and yet we've had 842 healthcare entities closed and 160 rural pharmacies. You can't look at a single metric that has gone in the right direction in the last two years. And that is because of people like Ashley Henson that has gone up to DC to look out for self and to look out for billionaires.
