U.S. Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking reelection next year. Ernst announced yesterday she will retire after two terms.
Second district congresswoman Ashley Hinson says she will be seeking the party’s nomination for Ernst’s seat.
Hinson joins two other Republicans who have announced their candidacies for Ernst’s seat, as well as five Democrats.
No Republicans have yet announced an official run for Hinson’s open congressional seat. There have been four Democrats to declare candidacy so far.
