MAGA Rep. Ashley Hinson has accepted thousands from pork industry groups while simultaneously advocating for legislation to loosen regulations on them, a Daily Beast analysis can reveal.
Campaign finance filings show that the Trump-endorsed Hinson, who is running for Senate in Iowa, has received tens of thousands of dollars from groups tied to the pork industry, including $5,250 from groups associated with Smithfield Foods.
That giving comes as Hinson, 43, has introduced the “Save Our Bacon Act,” specifically targeting California’s Proposition 12, which mandates that all pork sold in the state—even those raised elsewhere—must comply with its own animal confinement regulations.
