• Ashley Hinson ArenholzFEC filing: Ashley Hinson Arenholz · H0IA01174 ↗

  Sitting member of Congress · Ashley Hinson

  In the U.S. House (IA-2) since 2021 · current term ends Jan 3, 2027

  • Recorded yea or nay on 24 of the 24 key House floor votes captured in Hugin's snapshot
  • 3 committees: Appropriations, Ethics, Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party · 3 subcommittees
  • 233 committees reported contributions to them this cycle · 1 committee reported outside spending for or against them

  Linked to this filing by its exact FEC candidate ID (H0IA01174) in the congress-legislators roster of Oct 21, 2026. Votes are one key floor vote per bill on bills named in contractor lobbying reports (Oct 29, 2026); committee seats are the roster as of Oct 24, 2026; money counts are FEC reports for 2026 as of Oct 24, 2026. These are what Hugin's snapshots captured, not complete records, and none of them is a score or evidence of motive.
