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.
- U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson secured the Republican nomination after Sen. Joni Ernst retired, while Democratic nominee Josh Turek, a two-time Paralympic gold medalist, emphasizes union support and bipartisan economic policies.
- Hinson touts the Working Families Tax Cuts Act passed in July 2025, which included no tax on tips, Social Security and overtime; Turek supports the PRO Act to expand collective bargaining rights.
- Republicans claim Turek wants a 90 percent tax rate, though his campaign emphasizes tax relief for workers and middle-class families. Both candidates also agree on expanding apprenticeship and technical education programs.
- The November 3 election will help determine control of the U.S. Senate, where Republicans currently hold a 53-45 majority; Democrats would need to flip four seats to take control.
