'''Cynthia Lynne "Cindy" Axne''' (born April 20, 1965) is a businesswoman and partisan [[Democrat]] currently serving as the U.S. representative from [[Iowa]]'s 3rd congressional district.
==U.S. House of Representatives==
===2018 election in Iowa's 3rd district===
Axne was elected in 2018 during a blue wave, defeating [[Republican]] then-incumbent [[David Young]] by just over 2% of the vote.<ref>[https://ballotpedia.org/Iowa%27s_3rd_Congressional_District_election,_2018 Iowa's 3rd Congressional District election, 2018]</ref>
===Phony “moderate”===
Axne has been deceptively portrayed as much more “moderate” than she actually is, such as her own House website calling her a “moderate Democrat” and asserting that she wants to “do more than impeach the president.”<ref>[https://axne.house.gov/media/in-the-news/moderate-democrats-call-out-mcconnell-vote-delay-mexico-canada-trade-deal Moderate Democrats call out McConnell on vote delay on Mexico-Canada trade deal]</ref> [[Politico]] has also concurred the narrative that Axne is supposedly a “moderate Democrat”.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/18/north-american-trade-deal-vote-mcconnell-087113 Moderate Democrats call out McConnell on vote delay on Mexico-Canada trade deal]</ref> In addition, a 2019 report card by GovTrack absurdly ranked Axne as the 7th most [[conservative]] member out of all House [[Democrats]], even giving her a “0.50” rating between 0 and 1,<ref>[https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/report-cards/2019/party-house-democrat/ideology 2019 Report Cards | GovTrack]</ref> with ‘0’ being the least conservative and ‘1’ being the most [[conservative]]. A chart ranking given for Axne by [[On the Issues]] has also been somewhat misleading,<ref>[https://www.ontheissues.org/House/Cindy_Axne.htm Cindy Axne on the Issues]</ref> as the website's methodology ranks candidates as being more moderate if there is no information given for positions on certain issues. Since seven out of the twenty topics (35%) for Axne had “No opinion on” put in, Axne's [[left-wing]] positions were arguably under-represented in the chart.
Despite claims of being a “moderate Democrat”, Axne is endorsed by the extremely [[pro-abortion]] [[EMILY's List]],<ref>[https://emilyslist.org/candidates/gallery/federal Federal Candidates | EMILY's List]</ref> has received a 100% rating from the [[Planned Parenthood]] Action Fund in 2019, a 62% rating from the [[ACLU]], a 100% rating from the [[NEA]], a 90% rating from Progressive Punch, and a 93% rating from the [[League of Conservation Voters]].<ref>[https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/evaluations/179226/cindy-axne Cindy Axne's Ratings and Endorsements]</ref>
