Cindy Axne, D-Iowa, speaks during a roundtable discussion at the Elite Octane ethanol plant Nov. 9, 2021, in Atlantic, Iowa. Moments after she flipped a longtime Republican congressional seat in 2018, Axne declared that "Washington doesn't have our back and we deserve a heck of a lot better." Now seeking a third term in one of the most competitive House races, Axne is sounding a similar tone, telling voters she's delivered for Iowans "while Washington politicians bicker."
