Ashley Hinson Asks for Gas Money in Iowa Senate Race Against Josh Turek
Hinson's request for campaign-bus gas money drew Turek's criticism as high fuel prices dominate their close Iowa Senate race.
In the Iowa Senate race, Republican candidate Ashley Hinson requested "gas money" for her campaign bus tour, drawing criticism from Democratic opponent Josh Turek. Turek pointed out that Iowans and farmers are facing high fuel costs, making Hinson's request "shameful." Fuel prices have been a contentious issue, with Hinson's votes against measures to end U.S. involvement in the Iran war and Turek's calls for the conflict to end.
Both candidates have proposed various solutions to lower fuel costs, including temporary tax reductions and expanding biofuels. The race for the open Senate seat, vacated by retiring Republican Senator Joni Ernst, is among the most closely watched Senate contests of the midterms.
