Iowa Senate Nominees Turek, Hinson Set for November Face-Off

Democrat Josh Turek won the Iowa Democratic nomination for the open U.S. Senate seat, defeating state Sen. Zach Wahls, to face Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson in November after Hinson won the GOP primary; the race to replace retiring Sen. Joni Ernst has drawn heavy outside spending (including $29 million from the Senate Leadership Fund) and notable support from VoteVets backing Turek, while Hinson benefited from Trump’s endorsement, signaling a potentially competitive general election in a state that has leaned Republican in recent cycles.
