Iowa Senate Candidates Hold Second Debate, Both Oppose Russian Diesel Import Deal
Iowa's U.S. Senate candidates met for their second televised debate on the night of Oct. 13 in Des Moines, with Republican Ashley Hinson and Democrat Josh Turek facing off over agriculture, trade and energy, according to Iowa news outlets.
During the debate, both candidates said they oppose a deal involving the import of 300,000 tons of Russian diesel, arguing it would not serve U.S. energy security or Iowa's farm interests. Turek said the deal would do nothing for Iowans, and Hinson likewise voiced opposition.
Hinson is a U.S. representative and Turek a state lawmaker. They are competing for Iowa's Senate seat in this year's election, a race that could affect the balance of power in the Senate.
The debate was hosted and aired by WHO 13 in Des Moines ahead of the November general election.
