U.S. Senate race in Iowa focuses on affordability, tax policy
Both nominees say they will ease housing costs and cut middle-class taxes as the open race draws national attention and could decide Senate control.
- The Iowa U.S. Senate race is a "toss up," as Republican nominee Ashley Hinson and Democratic nominee Josh Turek prioritize affordability and taxation ahead of the November 3 election.
- Following Sen. Joni Ernst's retirement, U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson secured the Republican nomination, while Democratic nominee Josh Turek, a two-time Paralympic gold medalist, emphasizes union support and bipartisan economic policies.
- Fundraising totals show Hinson leading with more than $7.9 million in contributions, while Turek has raised more than $6.2 million; both advocate for banning Wall Street firms from purchasing single-family homes.
- Debate over taxation remains central, as Hinson touts the Working Families Tax Cuts Act while Turek supports the PRO Act to expand collective bargaining; Republicans claim Turek wants a 90 percent tax rate.
- Control of the U.S. Senate depends on the November 3 election, where Republicans currently hold a 53-45 majority; the Democratic party would need to flip four seats to take control.
