On the record

  • IsraelSaid

    On May 16, 2024, Hinson, a co-sponsor of the Israel Security Assistance Support Act, said in a statement that President Biden was wrong to withhold congressionally approved military aid to Israel and that the bill would require him to send it.

    "While Biden sides with terrorists, I will always stand with Israel."

    Hinson Works to Force Biden to Send Military Aid to Israel, Office of U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson (house.gov), May 16, 2024

  • ICESaid

    At an Oct. 13, 2026 news conference where the National Border Patrol Council endorsed her, Hinson said she would fund law enforcement and border security and said Turek would not. She also said every ICE agent should have been trained and given a body camera by the end of August 2026.

    "This election presents a very clear choice: I will fund law enforcement and border security."

  • The Trump administrationSaid

    In a statement after President Trump's State of the Union address on Feb. 24, 2026, Hinson credited Trump with cutting taxes and expanding energy production, and said more work remained on health care costs and affordability.

    "President Trump inherited a nation in crisis and, in record time, cut taxes for working families, unleashed American energy, and fostered opportunity for all Americans."

  • Where they want the country to goSaid

    In an op-ed first published in the Des Moines Register on Jan. 27, 2026, and posted on her campaign site, Hinson wrote that the country is on the right track under President Trump and called for continuing his agenda with conservative majorities in Congress.

    "With President Trump back in the Oval Office and strong conservative majorities behind him, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to finish the job and rebuild a country that works for every Iowan."

    Iowans are earning more, paying less after Trump’s return, Candidate's campaign site, January 27, 2026

  • Foreign policySaid

    In the Oct. 7, 2026 Iowa PBS debate, Hinson explained her September vote against a war powers resolution that would have required congressional approval for the war in Iran to continue, and said the war should come to a quick end without Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.

    "I don’t think we need another resolution, and I certainly don’t want to see the president not be able to do an orderly end to this war."

  • TaxesVoted

    On July 3, 2025, Hinson voted Aye on the House motion to concur in the Senate amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the final House vote on the 2025 tax and spending law.

  • EnergySaid

    In the Oct. 13, 2026 WHO-13 debate, Hinson said she did not support President Trump's move to lift sanctions on Russian diesel, and proposed a temporary gas tax cut, a diesel rebate for producers and more biofuels instead.

    "We need to lower diesel prices, but I don’t think we need to be making a deal with Russia to do it"

  • FarmingSaid

    At the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 21, 2026, Hinson spoke against California's Proposition 12 livestock rules and promoted her Save Our Bacon Act, which would block state rules on how farm animals sold in that state are raised.

    "We know this is a policy that is an over-regulatory policy, Californians trying to tell Iowans what they know how to do already best, which is raise animals responsibly"

On the record

  • Israel

    No public statement found as of October 18, 2026.

  • ICESaid

    In the Oct. 7, 2026 Iowa PBS debate, Turek affirmed his primary-season position that he would not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security without "fundamental reforms to ICE." He said the country needs safe and secure borders and a pathway to earned citizenship. His primary-season position followed the killing of two U.S. citizens by immigration agents in Minneapolis earlier in 2026.

    "I think we can all agree that we don’t want to see Americans shot in the street."

    U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson pledges support for border patrol, law enforcement if elected, Iowa Capital Dispatch, October 7, 2026

  • The Trump administrationSaid

    In a statement on Feb. 28, 2026, responding to U.S. military action in Iran, Turek said the power to declare war rests with Congress and that an attack that could draw the U.S. into a long conflict should not happen without congressional approval.

    "Americans were promised an end to “forever wars” and costly foreign entanglements. This is another example of a betrayal of that promise."

    Josh Turek Releases Statement on Military Action in Iran, Candidate's campaign site, February 28, 2026

  • Where they want the country to goSaid

    At the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 14, 2026, Turek said he would work with President Trump on some issues and named two where he agrees with him: no tax on tips and overtime, and driving private equity out of housing.

    "I’ve been very open and vocal that I’ll work with anyone, including President Trump, on issues"

    Josh Turek urges US Senate Democrats to help advance farm bill, Iowa Capital Dispatch, August 14, 2026

  • Foreign policySaid

    In the Oct. 13, 2026 WHO-13 debate, Turek said the U.S. war with Iran has raised gas, diesel and fertilizer prices in Iowa and called for ending it. He also said he did not support President Trump's move to lift sanctions on Russian diesel.

    "It has disproportionately hurt Iowa, we need to end this war in Iran."

    Hinson, Turek share views on U.S.-Iran, Russia-Ukraine wars amid high fuel prices, Iowa Capital Dispatch, October 13, 2026

  • Social Security and MedicareSaid

    At a Sept. 9, 2026 event with seniors' advocates, Turek said eliminating the income cap on Social Security payroll taxes is the best option to keep the program solvent, and pledged to protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

    "I give each and every Iowa senior my pledge — I will do everything I can to protect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and expand it to all of you."

    Josh Turek calls for lifting income cap on Social Security to sustain program, Iowa Capital Dispatch, September 9, 2026

  • FarmingSaid

    At the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 14, 2026, Turek said Senate Democrats should help move the farm bill forward, and that he would have voted for it despite flaws he saw in it.

    "I don’t think that we should let perfection stand in the way of progress"

    Josh Turek urges US Senate Democrats to help advance farm bill, Iowa Capital Dispatch, August 14, 2026

  • AbortionSaid

    In a statement on the anniversary of the Dobbs decision on June 24, 2026, Turek said reproductive health care is part of health care as a human right and that he would work to restore Roe v. Wade.

    "As Iowa’s next U.S. Senator, I will do everything I can to restore Roe v. Wade so every woman has access to the care they need"

    On Dobbs Anniversary, Josh Turek Slams Hinson for Her Record of Ripping Away Iowans’ Reproductive Freedom, Candidate's campaign site, June 24, 2026

  • Money in politicsSaid

    His campaign platform page, first released Feb. 27, 2026, lists ending stock trading by members of Congress, banning corporate PAC money, passing the DISCLOSE Act and a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United. It says he is not taking corporate PAC money. The page itself is undated.

    "Ban Members of Congress and their spouses from trading stock."

Call your senators and representative

Build what to say

Pick who you're calling and what you want to talk about. Offices log calls by issue and position, so a clear ask from a constituent is what gets counted.

Your script

Hi, my name is ____, and I'm a constituent from ____, ZIP ____.

I'm calling about AIPAC money, ICE and checks and balances.

I want my senator to refuse money from AIPAC PAC and United Democracy Project, and to say so publicly.

I want my senator to vote against more money for ICE detention and enforcement.

I want my senator to use Congress's oversight power, including hearings, subpoenas and votes, whichever party is in charge.

Please record my position. Thank you for your time.

    Tips for calling
    • Call your own senators and representative. Offices mostly count calls from their own voters.
    • Say your ZIP so the call counts as a constituent.
    • You'll talk to a staff member, not the official. That's normal: they log your call.
    • One or two issues per call is best.
    • Voicemail counts. Offices go through it every day.
    • If the D.C. office is busy, try a state office, or the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
    • Call again next week.
