Meetings and Conversations in DC

This week, I had a good conversation with folks from Alliant Energy about how we can grow our energy supply while making sure it stays dependable, affordable, and there when you need it. We also talked about their efforts to lock in rates over the next several years to keep costs predictable for families. Thanks for stopping by!

I also enjoyed my conversation with the Taiwan Chamber of Commerce! Taiwan is a strong trade partner grounded in freedom and democracy, and that relationship creates real opportunities for Iowa farmers and businesses.

Welcoming Iowa’s Heroes Back to Cedar Rapids

I was so honored to welcome home soldiers in Cedar Rapids from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division of the Iowa National Guard, after their deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. God bless each of them, their families, and our troops overseas.

Few moments compare to watching our servicemembers come home—the anticipation, long-awaited hugs, and relief of seeing loved ones after so many months apart. The emotion in the room said everything, and you could feel the gratitude in each moment.

At a time when some military families are grieving loved ones, moments like this remind us just how precious these reunions are. For the Iowans who did not come home, our hearts and prayers are with you and those who laid down their life for the safety and security of our nation.

Additionally, my team was honored to attend a recent welcome home ceremony at the Iowa National Guard Armory in Cedar Rapids. Words cannot fully express how grateful we are to our service members and their loved ones, who sacrifice so much in defense of our nation.

This week, my team participated in the Young Professionals of Dubuque monthly luncheon. Always great to see so many young people building connections and putting down roots in Dubuque!

Team Hinson was at the Marion American Legion Post for National Vice Commander Jerry Landkamer's visit. We are incredibly grateful for his service to our community and country. 

After catching up and visiting with fellow Iowans, my amazing casework team stuck around to answer any questions. We had great, productive conversations and were able to take on new cases to help folks get the support they’ve earned. 

We are here to help Iowans navigate issues with federal agencies, including military records and medal requests, VA medical appointments and claims issues, IRS delays and missing tax refunds, and many others! Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.
