Lindsay James Doesn’t Think Parents Matter

May 14, 2026

Last night during the Democrat debate for Iowa’s Second Congressional District, Lindsay James made one thing clear: parents come last. When asked whether parents should be involved in gender issues affecting children, James offered a rambling response and dismissed concerns surrounding transgender procedures for minors as something Iowans are not “concerned with.”

Watch for yourself:

And this is no surprise. James voted against requiring parental consent for schools to change a child’s name, pronoun, or gender. 

James’ comments are just the latest reminder that her dangerous, out of touch agenda puts activists ahead of parents and Iowa families.

“Lindsay James doesn’t think parents matter when it comes to decisions about their own children. Her radical agenda couldn’t be more out of touch with Iowa families and the values they hold dear.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Emily Tuttle
