Story summary

Rep. Ashley Hinson, a Republican candidate for US Senate in Iowa, called for an "immediate end" to the Iran war and measures like suspending the gas tax and pausing diesel exports to relieve high costs for Iowans on Monday, October 9. Despite voting against House resolutions to halt the conflict six times, including recently, Hinson argued that Iowans shouldn't bear the financial burden of the ongoing war. Her Democratic opponent Josh Turek quickly responded, highlighting Hinson's previous votes in favor of continuing the war and accusing her of flip-flopping on the issue. Turek emphasized the need to actually end the "forever wars" instead of just providing temporary relief measures.
