NRCC Statement on Joe Mitchell Winning Iowa PBS Debate

October 9, 2026

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) issued the following statement on Joe Mitchell’s decisive victory in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District debate against liberal Lindsay James:

“Lindsay James spent the debate doing what she does best: avoiding accountability. She had no answers for her record of hiking taxes, putting illegal immigrants ahead of Iowans, or supporting gender transition surgeries for minors. Joe Mitchell proved he’ll show up, stand up for Iowa families, and fight for them every single day in Congress.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Emily Tuttle
