Claimant: Ashley Hinson (R)
Claim: Iowa Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Josh Turek “skipped 58% of the votes at the Statehouse this year.”
Rating: TRUE
Explanation: Of 445 Iowa House floor votes held during the 2026 legislative session, Turek missed 261, or roughly 58%. His absence rate was the second highest in the chamber that year, although the figure applies specifically to House floor votes and does not include committee or subcommittee votes. (politifact.com)
