(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson spoke about the ongoing fight to elect fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy as the Speaker of the House during her weekly conference call with reporters.

Hinson was asked if she has any relationships with any of the Republicans blocking McCarthy and if she might be able to help unblock the progress.

Hinson was asked at what point do House Republicans start looking at other options.

She says her message to colleagues holding out will continue to be that Iowans are sick and tired of the “chaos and dysfunction.” Hinson is from Marion and was elected to a second term in November representing the new Second Congressional District.
