爱荷华州参议员首场辩论:欣森与图雷克交锋伊朗战争与柴油价格

据CNN与爱荷华州媒体报道,共和党联邦众议员阿什莉·欣森(Ashley Hinson)与民主党州众议员乔希·图雷克(Josh Turek)10月7日晚在约翰斯顿举行了爱荷华州联邦参议员选举的首场辩论。两人围绕伊朗战争、柴油价格、医保与社保展开交锋,争夺即将退休的参议员乔尼·恩斯特(Joni Ernst)留下的席位。
图雷克是来自康瑟尔布拉夫斯(Council Bluffs)的两届残奥会金牌得主。他抨击欣森七次投票反对限制伊朗战争、五次投票反对约束特朗普关税,称这场战争是没有退出战略的“永久战争”,堪比伊拉克与阿富汗。来自马里恩(Marion)的联邦众议员欣森则呼吁让战争“立即、成功地结束”,并称国会决议会阻碍特朗普有序结束战争。
经济议题上,欣森推介了她9月22日提出的柴油纾困计划与多点能源方案,称柴油价格是她最牵挂的农民关切。图雷克则支持临时暂停燃油税并禁止柴油出口,指责欣森因支持战争而应对油价上涨负责。
医保议题上,图雷克批评欣森支持《大而美法案》,称其通过医疗补助工作要求与市场补贴到期将使11万爱荷华人失去医保;欣森反驳称废除该法将让无证移民重获医疗补助。她还就图雷克今年缺席58%州众议院投票一事发难,要求他退还纳税人支付的议员津贴,讽刺其初选时抨击总统、如今却打广告称愿与白宫合作,是“有两个面孔的图雷克”。
据苏城KSCJ电台报道,辩论由爱荷华公共电视台(Iowa PBS)在约翰斯顿演播室播出,是两场既定对决中的第一场,结束后双方均宣称获胜。在参议院多数席位悬于一线的情况下,全国性团体预计将在11月3日前的最后几周向该州倾泻广告。
Hinson, Turek Clash Over Iran War and Diesel Prices in First Iowa Senate Debate
JOHNSTON, Iowa — Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson and Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek faced off Oct. 7 in the first debate of Iowa's U.S. Senate race, clashing over the war in Iran, diesel prices, health care and Social Security in the open-seat contest to succeed retiring Sen. Joni Ernst, CNN and Iowa media reported.
Turek, a two-time Paralympic gold medalist from Council Bluffs, hammered Hinson for voting seven times against curbing the war in Iran and five times against reining in President Trump's tariffs, calling the conflict a "forever war" like Iraq and Afghanistan with no exit strategy. Hinson, a congresswoman from Marion, called for an immediate and successful end to the war and said a congressional resolution could prevent Trump from bringing it to an orderly close.
On the economy, Hinson touted a diesel relief program she proposed Sept. 22 and a multi-point energy plan, saying diesel prices top her list of concerns for Iowa farmers. Turek said he favors a temporary gas tax suspension and a ban on diesel exports, blaming Hinson for rising fuel prices because she backed the war.
On health care, Turek attacked Hinson's support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, saying it would strip coverage from 110,000 Iowans through Medicaid work requirements and the expiration of marketplace subsidies. Hinson countered that repealing the law would restore Medicaid to undocumented immigrants. She also pressed Turek over missing 58% of Iowa House votes this year, telling him to return the taxpayer per diem — "a tale of two Tureks," she said, accusing him of shifting his stance on working with the White House after trashing the president in the primary.
The debate, carried on Iowa PBS from its Johnston studio, was the first of two scheduled face-offs. Both candidates claimed victory afterward, according to Sioux City's KSCJ. With the Senate majority at stake, national groups are expected to flood the state with advertising in the final weeks before Nov. 3.
