艾奥瓦州民主党众议员乔希·图雷克在周二晚上该州开放参议院席位的辩论中遭到对手共和党众议员阿什利·辛森（艾奥瓦州共和党）质疑其出席记录后，为自己进行了辩护。
辛森在回应两位候选人被问及的艾奥瓦州癌症发病率上升的问题时，提及了图雷克的缺席情况。
“你必须到场投票支持儿科癌症研究等相关法案，我已经在立法中投入精力，确保我们重新分配资源，将资金投向真正需要的地方，以彻底解决这场癌症危机，”辛森说道。
正如福克斯新闻数字频道最先披露的那样，从2026年1月12日至5月3日，图雷克在艾奥瓦州州议会缺席了261次投票，占该时段总投票次数的近58%。
辩论主持人直接询问图雷克缺席投票的原因。

“我走遍全州，会见了艾奥瓦州所有99个县的民众，举办了数百场公开论坛，”图雷克回应道。

“与此同时，阿什利·辛森自从决定参选美国参议院以来，一场线下市政论坛都没举办过。另外，我在州议会的前三年，出席率超过90%，”图雷克继续说道。
“不过我想再次问问，你为什么缺席那些投票？”主持人重复提问。

“我一直在外竞选，走遍全州99个县会见艾奥瓦州民众，已经举办了数百场线下市政厅活动。与此同时，阿什利·辛森自从参选美国参议院以来，一场线下市政厅活动都没举办过，”他说道。
辛森反对“她在竞选周期内没有举办任何市政厅活动”的说法。

“我举办的市政厅活动比他今年上班出席的比例还要高。图雷克众议员今年只出席了42%的工作。也就是每五天工作日里，他只来两天，”辛森说道。
“收看今晚辩论的艾奥瓦州民众应该知道，如果你五天工作日两天都不到岗，你不会得到晋升，反而会被解雇。我为自己跨党派的工作记录感到自豪，我与两党合作推动法案通过。我在国会跨党派议员中排名前20%，即便在开展全州竞选活动期间，我的出席率也达到了99%，”她总结道。

在主持人切换话题前，图雷克补充道：“她还缺席过193次投票。”
辛森竞选团队的发言人向福克斯新闻数字频道澄清，辛森缺席的193次投票是她整个国会任期内的缺席次数，而图雷克缺席的261次投票仅来自2026年的立法会议。

辛森竞选团队还驳斥了“她没有举办过市政厅活动”的说法。
“自当选国会议员以来，阿什利·辛森已经举办了47场线下市政厅活动，以及30多场电话市政厅活动——直接与艾奥瓦州民众就他们最关心的问题进行沟通，”辛森竞选团队通讯主任比利·富斯特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

图雷克及其竞选团队未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

Democratic Iowa State Rep. Josh Turek defended his attendance record after being called out by his opponent, Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, during a Tuesday night debate for the state’s open Senate seat.
Hinson remarked on Turek’s absences while responding to a question posed to both candidates about Iowa’s rising cancer rates.
“You have to show up to vote for things like pediatric cancer research, and I’ve invested in legislation to make sure that we’re redirecting those resources to get to where it needs to go to help get to the bottom of this cancer crisis,” Hinson said.
As Fox News Digital first uncovered, Turek missed 261 votes in Iowa’s state legislature from Jan. 12, 2026, through May 3, representing nearly 58% of the total votes during that time.
The debate’s moderator asked Turek directly why he missed the votes.

“I have gone out there, and I have met with Iowans all over the state, all 99 counties, hundreds of public forums,” Turek responded.

“Meanwhile, Ashley Hinson, since she’s decided to run for U.S. Senate, has not done one in-person town forum. Also, in my first three years in the legislature, I had more than a 90% attendance record,” Turek continued.
“I want to ask again, though, why did you miss those votes?” the moderator repeated.

“I’m out campaigning. I’m out meeting Iowans all over all 99 counties. I’ve done hundreds of in-person town halls. Meanwhile, Ashley Hinson, since she’s running for the U.S. Senate, has not done a single in-person town hall,” he said.
Hinson objected to the notion that she hasn’t done any town halls during the campaign cycle.

“I’ve done more town halls than the percentage of time he showed up to work this year. 42% of the time is all Rep. Turek showed up to work this year. That’s two out of every five days of work,” Hinson said.
“Iowans, if you’re watching tonight, you should know if you don’t show up to work two out of five days, you’re not getting a promotion. You’re getting fired. I am proud of my bipartisan record working with both parties to get things across the finish line. I rank in the top 20% of bipartisan lawmakers in Congress and I have a 99% attendance record even while running a statewide campaign,” she concluded.

Turek, before the moderator moved on, chimed in, adding, “She also missed 193 votes.”
A spokesperson for the Hinson campaign clarified to Fox News Digital that the 193 votes Hinson missed accounted for her entire time in Congress, while the 261 votes Turek missed were in the 2026 legislative session alone.

The Hinson campaign also disputed the idea that she hasn’t held any town halls.
“Since being elected to Congress, Ashley Hinson has held 47 in-person town halls and more than 30 telephone town halls — speaking directly to Iowans about the issues that matter most to them,” Billy Fuerst, the Hinson campaign communications director, told Fox News Digital.

“Ashley has a 98.8% lifetime voting record while Josh Turek registered a 42% voting record in the State House this year. Ashley missed 16% (94 of 553) of committee amendment votes over the course of her congressional tenure, but has been present for all final passage votes (final passage votes include the amendment language) in her time on the Appropriations Committee — 70 total bills since 2021,” Fuerst concluded.
Rep. Turek and his campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for comment.
