A retired Army nurse who led the nursing program at Kirkwood Community College for a decade is seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination to run against second district Congresswoman Ashley Hinson in 2026.
Kathryn Dolter says she’s concerned about the health, safety and economic welfare of Iowans.
Dolter says the “Big Beautiful Bill” President Trump signed July 4th will create problems in a variety of areas.
Dolter is the only Democrat to have an active campaign in the second district after former U.S. Attorney Kevin Techau ended his campaign in June.
Dolter, who lives on the west side of Dubuque in the town of Asbury, served 23 years in the Army and retired as a lieutenant colonel. She is currently serving as a coordinator and advisor to the nursing program at Mount Mercy University.
Iowa GOP chairman Jeff Kaufmann says Dolter is a far-left political activist who will be no match for Republican Congresswoman Hinson, who Kaufmann says is an America-first proven leader.
