Sarah Corkery is giving voters who care about reproductive freedom a choice in the congressional race against incumbent Ashley Hinson, who beat Democrat Abby Finkenauer.
Hinson voted against the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Act. She has also said she is ‘open’ to raising Social Security's retirement age.
So, who is Hinson’s challenger, Sarah Corkery?
She’s a political maverick who won’t do ‘call time’—dialing for dollars for eight hours a day—has not run for public office before, and is running in a district that political prognosticators say is a 97% sure bet for Hinson to be re-elected. That’s a tough hill to climb, yet the adage ‘24-hours-is-a-long-time-in-politics’ has never been more true than this 2024 election, eh?
Join our call today, and we’ll learn what she’s hearing on the campaign trail:
