Josh Turek is lying about Ashley Hinson because he can’t defend his liberal record. Iowans will see right through the deception. Turek’s lies won’t win. Vote Ashley Hinson for Senate on November 3rd!

I don’t trade stocks, and no one else in Congress should either – that’s why I voted to ban it. The best investment on Wall Street shouldn’t be a seat in Congress.

No Taxes on Social Security is plain common sense. Seniors shouldn’t be double-taxed for what they EARNED!

Prices are up and families are getting squeezed. That’s why I’m working with both parties to put the squeeze on Big Pharma and Big Health Insurance companies to bring down premiums and drug prices. We eliminated taxes on tips and overtime, and we cut taxes on Social Security. But there is more work to do. In the Senate, I’ll continue to work every day to deliver bipartisan solutions that lower costs and make life more affordable for Iowans.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
