I became a chaplain to serve people in their hardest moments. In Des Moines, I fought corporate lobbyists. In Washington, I'll work to bring down everyday costs.

Caring for my neighbor is not optional. Joe Mitchell supports policies making it harder and more expensive to see a doctor. I’ll work with anyone to make healthcare more affordable.

Corporations and billionaires have too much power in Washington, and no one's fighting for regular people. My faith teaches me that caring for our neighbors is not optional. That's why I'm running for Congress to fix a broken system that only works for lobbyists and insiders.

If you're feeling like no one is fighting for you, I am. We’ve got a lot to get done to lower costs and to fix our healthcare, but we can do it. I am in your corner.

I'm Lindsay James. When corporations evicted Iowans, I stopped them. In Congress, I'll fight for you.

Lindsay James is a minister and a mom running for Congress, and she’s lived by the words of the Bible: carry each other’s burdens. In Congress, that means making health care more affordable and bringing costs down for Iowa families.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
