Iowa GOP Chair Statement on Cedar Rapids Liberal Activist Announcing Campaign for Iowa's Second Congressional District

July 22, 2025

DES MOINES – Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement in response to Cedar Rapids liberal activist Clint Twedt-Ball announcing a campaign for U.S. House in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District:

“Clint Twedt-Ball is just the latest out-of-touch, radical liberal to jump into the Democrats’ crowded and hopeless primary to decide who will get crushed by Congresswoman Ashley Hinson next November. He’ll soon find out why national Democrats’ hand-picked candidate, Kevin Techau, dropped out after realizing he had no path to victory. 

Ashley Hinson is delivering commonsense conservative results working with President Trump to secure the border, deport criminal illegal immigrants, and pass historic tax cuts for Iowa families, farmers, and small businesses.”
