Lindsay James’ journey to public service began long before she decided to run for Congress. As a chaplain, she sat beside people in their hardest hours—listening without judgment, offering hope, and finding common ground where none seemed possible. Those moments taught her that each person matters, and their struggles deserve attention.
As a state representative, Lindsay James has been a voice that refuses to be drowned out—a dynamic force with a ready smile and the unshakable conviction: that government should serve the people, not the powerful, and that no one—no child, no farmer, no working family—should be pushed aside.
A Proven Record of Bringing People Together
In the legislature, Lindsay worked across party lines to:
- Expand access to affordable insulin, ensuring Iowans can get the life-saving medication they need without facing financial ruin.
- Protect mobile home residents from predatory corporate landlords looking to price-gouge hardworking families.
- Champion affordable housing and mental health care, advocating for policies that strengthen communities from the ground up.
Fighting for Your Future
Lindsay is running for Congress to level the playing field for all Iowans and restore hope in the American dream. Too many Iowans are facing impossible choices just to get by.
From the dad dipping into emergency savings to buy pizza for his child’s birthday, to the mom deciding between a winter coat or food on the table, to the senior choosing whether to pay for life-saving prescriptions or rent—these are the daily struggles of our neighbors.
From young families burdened by skyrocketing childcare costs to single parents forced to choose between caring for their kids or saving for a home, every Iowan deserves leaders who truly see them—and who will never stop fighting for them.
