民主党国会候选人曾称艾奥瓦州因跨性别运动员法案沦为“穷乡僻壤”

福克斯新闻独家报道： 记录显示，前艾奥瓦州民主党州众议员克里斯蒂娜·博安南在竞选摇摆选区国会席位的任期最后一年，缺席了艾奥瓦州众议院近半数的投票。
根据州议会记录，博安南2022年缺席了773场全体会议投票中的348场，占比约45%，尽管她在三年后曾强调“领导人必须到场履职”的重要性。
博安南目前正在艾奥瓦州第一国会选区竞选国会席位。库克政治报告将该选区11月的选举评为“势均力敌”，目前共和党正试图保住其在众议院的微弱多数优势。
她缺席的投票涉及多项法案，包括保护性侵犯受害者、志愿消防员和急救人员的法案，艾奥瓦州乳业行业、农业项目、紧急911服务以及青少年司法改革相关法案。

“自由派的克里斯蒂娜·博安南说领导人应该‘到场履职’，结果自己却完全缺席，”全国共和党国会委员会发言人艾米丽·塔特尔在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。
“一边领取纳税人支付的薪水，一边缺席一半工作，这算不上值得晋升的领导力。这种表现在任何其他地方都会被开除。”
这些缺席行为与博安南过往的言论形成鲜明对比。2025年10月6日，她在X平台上发帖称，她很“荣幸”在一场代表艾奥瓦州五个县的候选人论坛上与100多名选民交谈。
“在如此多不确定性的当下，领导人到场并直接与艾奥瓦州民众沟通比以往任何时候都更加重要，”她补充道。
同样，在2021年接受艾奥瓦州政治博客《流血的心地带》采访时，博安南被描述为计划“在2022年会期期间投入大量时间进行立法工作”，其余精力则用于国会竞选。
博安南在2021年至2023年担任艾奥瓦州众议院议员，任期一届，之后开启了她的首次国会竞选之路。

在2022年以约7个百分点的差距落败、2024年经过重新计票后以约800票的差距失利后，博安南将第三次挑战现任议员、艾奥瓦州共和党众议员玛丽安妮特·米勒-米克斯。该国会选区包括达文波特和艾奥瓦市。
但博安南在竞选期间仍领取州议会的薪资。根据州议会记录，艾奥瓦州议员2022年的年薪为2.5万美元，外加每天175美元的出差津贴，最多可领取100天，即1.75万美元。
这位民主党议员还因过往言论以及竞选活动中宣扬的中产阶级立场面临越来越多的批评。

福克斯新闻数字频道此前曾报道，博安南曾警告，由于公立学校和大学限制多元化培训，艾奥瓦州可能会被视为“落后”，而由于对跨性别运动员的限制，该州“看起来会像个穷乡僻壤”。
其他报道显示，博安南和她的丈夫拥有一套位于佛罗里达州萨拉索塔的滨水公寓，估值在500001美元至100万美元之间，此外还在艾奥瓦市拥有一套价值155万美元的住宅，而她在竞选期间却自称是一名努力工作的中产阶级倡导者，理解“仍在为养家糊口而挣扎”的滋味。

FIRST ON FOX: Former Democratic state Rep. Christina Bohannan missed nearly half of her votes in Iowa’s House of Representatives during her final year in office as she campaigned for a congressional seat in the battleground district, records show.
In 2022, Bohannan missed 348 of 773 floor votes, or about 45% of all votes, according to the legislature’s records, despite stressing the importance “for leaders to show up” three years later.
Bohannan is running for Congress in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, a race the Cook Political Report ranks as a “toss up” in November as Republicans attempt to preserve their razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives.
Some of the skipped votes involved bills addressing protections for sexual abuse victims, volunteer firefighters and first responders, Iowa’s dairy industry, agricultural programs, emergency 911 services and juvenile justice reform.

“Liberal Christina Bohannan says leaders should ‘show up’ and then is a no-show herself,” Emily Tuttle, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Missing half your job while collecting your taxpayer-funded paycheck isn’t leadership worthy of a promotion. It’s the kind of performance that would get you fired anywhere else.”
The absences stand in contrast with Bohannan’s past comments. In an Oct. 6, 2025, post on X, she wrote that she had the “honor of speaking” with more than 100 voters at a candidate forum representing five Iowa counties.
“At a time when so much is uncertain, it’s more important than ever for leaders to show up and talk directly with Iowans,” she added.
Similarly, in a 2021 interview with Bleeding Heartland, an Iowa politics blog, Bohannan was described as planning to spend “a lot of time on legislative work during the 2022 session” with the rest of her efforts focused on her congressional campaign.
Bohannan served one term in the Iowa House from 2021 to 2023 before launching her first campaign for Congress.

She is challenging incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, for a third time in the 1st Congressional District, which includes Davenport and Iowa City, after losing by about seven points in 2022 and roughly 800 votes following a recount in 2024.
But Bohannan remained on the state’s legislative payroll during that period. According to state legislative records, Iowa lawmakers earned a $25,000 annual salary in 2022, plus $175 per day per diem for up to 100 days, or $17,500.
The Democratic lawmaker has also faced mounting criticism for her past comments and middle-class messaging on the campaign trail.

Fox News Digital previously reported that Bohannan warned Iowa could be seen as “backwards” over limits on diversity training at public schools and universities and “look like a backwater” over restrictions on transgender athletes.
Other reports revealed that Bohannan and her husband owned a waterfront Sarasota, Florida, condo valued between $500,001 and $1 million, in addition to a $1.55 million Iowa City home while campaigning as a hard-working, middle-class advocate who understands what it’s like “to still struggle to put food on the table.”
