Candidate Profile:
Nicole Hasso says she grew up in poverty on the Southside of Chicago.
“I was the first to graduate high school out of my family, as well as to earn a scholarship to Drake University,”
She says that's what brought her to Iowa 34 years ago. She's a wife, a mom and has worked in the financial industry for the last 14 years.
“Nothing is more important to me than helping people secure their financial future,” Hasso said. “That is what I'm going to bring to Washington, D.C., just some common sense, some business principles that have worked in the past.”
Now, she's hoping to unseat Democrat Cindy Axne to represent Iowa's 3rd District in Congress.
“With everything that was going on in the world, and I was just paying attention, I decided that enough was enough yelling at the TV wasn't making a difference. So, I decided to put my hat in the ring and to run for us congress to fight for Iowans values and in Iowa's economy to fight for our children,” Hasso told vlog.
She says her top priorities are tackling inflation and securing the border.
“I'm not a career politician. I am a conservative. I am a Christian. I am a hardworking Iowan. And we cannot continue to do the things that we used to do in the past, because it's not working. We have strong Republican women right now. That's representing the state of Iowa. Look at Gov. Reynolds. Sen. Ernst. We have Ashley Hinson, and Miller-Meeks and I'm looking to add my name to that list,” Hasso said.
