A conversation with Democratic 2nd District candidate Lindsay James
B
34:12Ben KiefferHOST
We are reporting on those stories a lot here on Iowa, Iowa Public Radio, but what is the step that you would take should you be elected to become congresswoman?
L
34:20Lindsay JamesGUEST
So the first step on day one is we've got to roll back the Medicaid cuts, the Medicare cuts, the ACA cuts.
L
34:30Lindsay JamesGUEST
We've got to take back tariff control, and we've got to end the war in Iran.
L
34:35Lindsay JamesGUEST
Those are the immediate steps, and I'll tell you, l- let me tell you a little bit about why that is.
L
34:40Lindsay JamesGUEST
So the one big beautiful bill, um, has caused a huge spike in healthcare costs for people living in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District.
L
34:49Lindsay JamesGUEST
Uh, this bill alone has jeopardized the healthcare of 25,000 Iowans just in the 2nd Congressional.
L
34:55Lindsay JamesGUEST
That doesn't include folks outside of that, 25,000 Iowans at risk of losing their healthcare.

Pamela BrownHOST
So tell us a little bit more then, to Wolf's question, about why religion is so important to you to convey in your messaging, and what you're hearing from your constituents about religion.
Lindsay JamesGUEST
When our communities are hit by derechos or floods, we're there to protect our neighbors and stand up for our neighbors.
Lindsay JamesGUEST
What I'm hearing across this campaign trail is that people are longing for someone with a moral compass and courage of conviction to go and do right by them.
Lindsay JamesGUEST
He's used his position and power and influence to further enrich his business interests.
Wolf BlitzerHOST
How are you actually, though, threading the needle to attract voters while not necessarily alienating others who see religion potentially as a negative influence?

Um, Lindsay, um, uh, th- this the kind of sort of wait and see that Peter and others in the industry are still talking about, isn't it? That I presume has the biggest impact on, on particularly big, big importers.
Lindsay JamesGUEST
It's about the volatility in the market at the moment, and that volatility really takes quite a long time to feed through to trade, but it does mean you get things like shipping contracts renegotiated, inventories run down, consumer confidence under pressure.
Lindsay JamesGUEST
It's just that this, this uncertainty continues, and that's the thing that does the damage.
Lindsay JamesGUEST
But, you know, I think from the situation, the peace agreement that they're trying to, to thrash out, Iran, uh, have very low trust in the US because they were complying with the Obama-era agreement that was torn up in, in 2018.

Just hearing from lots of, I guess, the type of companies that people use and see every day on that.
