Itemized receipts from political committees in the 2025-2026 cycle filings through June 30, 2026, grouped by the FEC's recorded organization type or designation of the contributing committee. Party rows: NRSC: $62,000 contribution on 2025-09-25 (line 11B). A separate $776.49 NRSC travel reimbursement on 2026-05-11 (line 14) is not a contribution and is not in the table. Receipts from joint fundraising committees sit on two rows: $2,714,368.67 reported on line 12 as transfers, which the FEC does not count as committee contributions, and $2,841.77 reported on line 11C, which it does. Table rows other than the transfer and conduit rows sum to $2,232,366.77, equal to the FEC summary's other-committee ($2,170,366.77) plus party ($62,000) contributions. The transfer row, $2,714,368.67, is $7.50 below the FEC summary's transfers figure of $2,714,376.17, and that difference is not resolved. Not in the table: $29,700 itemized on individual-contribution lines from businesses, a law firm, and tribal governments that are not political committees, $337.53 of other receipts from such an organization, two $1,000 memo entries from such organizations, $2,359.88 of line-14 other receipts recorded from the candidate, and the $776.49 NRSC travel reimbursement. Excluded memo entries are of three kinds: itemization of money already counted in the transfer row, redesignations between the primary and general election accounts, and $104,238 of individual contributions earmarked through conduits other than WinRed, which is individual money and appears in no row.

No bill among her 119th Congress sponsorships (33 bills and resolutions) or cosponsorships (237), nor among the 95 she sponsored and 924 she cosponsored across the 117th through 119th Congresses, listed on Congress.gov carries pharmacy benefit managers in its title. She cosponsored H.R. 8339, the Drug Origin Transparency Act of 2026 (April 16, 2026), whose official title describes a drug-manufacturing reporting bill rather than a price-transparency or pharmacy-benefit-manager bill, and H.R. 1492, which would equalize the Medicare negotiation period between small-molecule drugs and biologics (June 6, 2025); both were referred to committee. She sponsored H.R. 3878, the RNs for Rural Health Act of 2025 (June 10, 2025), which matches the rural-health-workforce plank.

Limit: This check covers bill titles in the 117th through 119th Congresses; a pharmacy-benefit-manager provision inside a larger bill would not appear.

Her official House biography says she has introduced and supported bipartisan legislation to root out corruption in Washington through federal lobbying bans, and her campaign platform calls for commonsense lobbying bans.

“She has introduced and supported bipartisan legislation to improve child care access for working families in Iowa, root out corruption in Washington through federal lobbying bans, and create opportunities for workers in the community.”

What the record shows ·

She is the sponsor of the PURE Executive Act in three consecutive Congresses: H.R. 1830 (introduced March 11, 2021), H.R. 5594 (September 20, 2023), and H.R. 8544 (April 28, 2026). Its official title is to amend title 18, United States Code, to establish a 5-year post-employment ban on lobbying by former senior executive branch personnel and to prohibit such personnel from lobbying at any time on behalf of foreign governments or entities controlled by foreign governments; the 2021 version reads "on behalf of foreign clients." Each was referred to the House Judiciary Committee and none received a vote. The 2021 bill had one Democratic and four Republican cosponsors, the 2023 bill one Republican cosponsor, and the 2026 bill one Democratic cosponsor. She has also cosponsored three bills whose titles carry lobbying: H.R. 3049 (2021), which would bar a former Member of Congress from lobbying on behalf of a Communist country, and H.R. 1190 (2024) and H.R. 1883 (2026), which clarify what lobbying registrations must contain; each was referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

Limit: The bans in the PURE Executive Act reach former senior executive branch personnel, not Members of Congress; the one cosponsored bill that reaches former Members, H.R. 3049, would bar lobbying for a Communist country only. None of these bills has had a committee or floor vote. The biography sentence bundles three subjects; the child-care part is borne out by H.R. 7498, which she sponsored. "Bipartisan" rests on the cosponsor lists of the 2021 and 2026 bills. An earlier version of this card, checked against short titles only, missed the PURE Executive Act; the check now covers official titles.

On September 30 a Senate vote to start debate on it fell short, 57-43; it is not law.

Limit: Rep. Gabe Evans sponsored the bill. This checks her vote, not a part in writing it.

In the October 7 debate, Hinson said President Biden signed her veterans mental health bill and her stillbirth prevention bill into law, and that she was in the Oval Office for it.

“I was in the Oval Office when I had my bill on veterans mental health being signed into law”

What the record shows ·

She sponsored H.R. 4581, the Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act; the House passed it 408-3 with her vote, and it was signed on July 12, 2024 (Public Law 118-69). Rep. Cindy Axne of Iowa sponsored H.R. 2441, the Sgt. Ketchum Rural Veterans Mental Health Act, and Hinson was an original cosponsor; it was signed on June 30, 2021 (Public Law 117-21).

In the October 7 debate, Hinson said she voted for the Working Families Tax Cut, which she said brought no tax on tips or overtime, lower taxes on Social Security for seniors, and certainty for small businesses.

“The Working Families Tax Cut provided for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime”

What the record shows ·

She voted yes when the House passed H.R. 1, the 2025 budget law, on May 22, 2025, and on its final version on July 3, 2025; it became Public Law 119-21. Workers can deduct up to $25,000 a year in tips and up to $12,500 in overtime pay ($25,000 on a joint return), counting only the extra part of overtime pay. Both deductions shrink above $150,000 of income ($300,000 joint) and end after 2028. People 65 and over get an extra $6,000 deduction through 2028, reduced above $75,000 of income ($150,000 joint). The law also extends the small-business income deduction (section 70105).

Limit: The tip and overtime breaks are capped deductions that end after 2028, so "no tax" overstates them, though the law's section titles use those words. The senior deduction goes to people 65 and over whether or not they get Social Security.

    Hinson (member H001091, Republican, Iowa) voted Yea on House Roll Call 308 on September 16, 2026, agreeing to the Senate amendments to H.R.5334; the motion passed 262–159, with 12 not voting. The Clerk displays the earlier educator-deduction title. The official bill-status history links the August 7 Senate amendments and title amendment to that final House concurrence and September 18 enactment as Public Law 119-111. The Senate amendment, enrolled bill and public law establish the version chain: Division A contains Russia sanctions and an extension of the Iran Sanctions Act to 2031; Division B contains the educator deduction. Sections102–113 include sanctions, prohibitions and duties with specified timing and determinations; sections 114–115 provide exceptions and waivers,116 implementation/penalties,117 termination, and 203 a five-year sunset except for 201. No enforcement, waiver use or economic outcome was checked. The retained March 9, 2022 comparison is the initial House passage of H.R.6968 (Roll 70, Hinson Yea, 414–17), whose House-passed section2 proposed the Russian-energy import ban with contract and national-interest provisions; it is not a finding about the final amended 2022 law. Both votes predate the October 13 debate. The statement remains a paraphrase from one saved native-caption original, cues 420–425, read in full surrounding context 380–508. It does not name either bill. These are two supporting votes, not a census of her sanctions record, evidence of authorship, proof of enforcement or effects, or proof of the reason for a personal Russian entry ban.
