The Iowa Farm Bureau Political Action Committee (PAC) has designated Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig and U.S. Senate candidate Ashley Hinson as a “Friend of Agriculture” for the 2026 general election on Nov. 3. Naig and Hinson have a proven track record of leading the way on issues that matter to Farm Bureau members and understand that all types of agriculture, including crops, livestock and niche markets, are key to growing a more prosperous Iowa. Hinson is running to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate, following Sen. Joni Ernst’s announcement that she would not seek reelection. Hinson currently represents Iowa’s 2nd District in the U.S. House of Representatives. She was first elected to Congress in 2020 and previously served in the Iowa House from 2016-2020.

Four candidates vying to represent Iowa in the U.S. House of Representatives also were designated as a Friend of Agriculture by the PAC Committee: Mariannette Miller-Meeks in the 1st District, Joe Mitchell in the 2nd District, Zach Nunn in the 3rd District and Chris McGowan in the 4th District.
