POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Iowa Republican Senate candidate Ashley Hinson has urged an immediate end to U.S. military actions in Iran, even as she has repeatedly voted against measures that would halt the conflict.

Hinson, a three-term congresswoman, criticized the financial burden of the war on Iowans, suggesting policy changes such as suspending the gas tax and pausing diesel exports to ease rising costs. She emphasized that these steps are essential and called for an end to the ongoing conflict.

Her Democratic opponent, Josh Turek, responded by pointing out Hinson’s seven previous votes against ending U.S. hostilities in the Middle East, including one just last week. He accused her of inconsistency, saying it was easy to make public statements but difficult to act when given the chance.
