Marion, IA – Liberal U.S. Senate candidate Josh Turek missed hundreds of critical votes, failing to do his basic duties as a legislator for his constituents. Despite missing hundreds of votes, Turek took the full taxpayer funded per diem of more than $20,000.

Team Hinson will be highlighting one of Turek’s missed votes every day. If the average American didn’t do the core responsibility of their job over half the time, they’d be fired – not promoted. Turek is an absentee legislator and doesn’t deserve the promotion he’s asking for. 

On Tuesday, March 25th, 2025, Josh Turek skipped the vote to verify the citizenship status of Iowa voters. 

“Josh Turek would side with Chuck Schumer and Far-Left Democrats against commonsense voter ID and election security,” said Hinson Campaign Communications Director, Billy Fuerst. “Turek skipping a vote to verify the citizenship status of Iowa voters tells you everything you need to know – he doesn’t care about election integrity.”

Turek also supports automatic voter registration when receiving a driver’s license — the same process that resulted in thousands of noncitizens being erroneously added to New Jersey’s voter rolls.
