艾奥瓦州第三国会选区国会民主党候选人萨拉·特龙·加里约特正试图向选民保证，她不支持男性进入女性更衣室——她认为对手试图混淆这一立场。
“我是两个就读于艾奥瓦州公立学校孩子的母亲。孩子们的教育和安全确实让我夜不能寐。因此，当我的对手刻意挑选并歪曲我的记录时，我必须澄清事实，”特龙·加里约特在最近的竞选视频中说道。
“我反对让男性进入女性更衣室，”她补充道。

然而，特龙·加里约特在艾奥瓦州议会任职期间的投票记录与她的表态相冲突，这给她争取该国竞争最激烈的众议院席位之一、推翻现任共和党众议员扎克·纳恩的竞选活动添了变数。
早在今年特龙·加里约特获得该选区民主党提名之前，共和党人就试图突出她的部分记录，这些记录似乎表明她所持的左翼立场比她当前的竞选活动更为激进。
许多人抨击她在艾奥瓦州参议院 floor 上发起的穆斯林祈祷仪式，以及作为路德宗牧师的她主持了一场撒旦教婚礼。
但正是特龙·加里约特在浴室政策上的立场，成为副总统J.D.万斯今年早些时候在为纳恩发表的竞选演讲中重点攻击的内容。
“他的对手早在幼儿园阶段就投票支持允许男性参加女子体育赛事。她曾投票反对禁止为未成年人进行性别确认手术，”万斯说道。
万斯和其他共和党批评人士提到了特龙·加里约特在艾奥瓦州参议院投出的两票关键法案：一项2023年通过的法案禁止中小学允许任何人进入“与其生理性别不符”的浴室；另一项2022年生效的法案根据生理性别制定了中小学和大学运动队的参赛资格规则。

特龙·加里约特对这两项法案均投了反对票。
她的投票与她2023年发表的言论一致，当时她表示，旨在限制参与者的浴室政策和体育政策是基于种族和性别紧张关系。
“这对白人男性掌权者的观念极具威胁，因为它混淆了界限，让事情变得模糊不清，”特龙·加里约特在联合教会的一次关于政治与信仰的演讲中说道。
“我们看到立法和社区冲突中出现了各种反应——更多的 emphasis 放在真正资助和支持私立学校、父母权利上。在此背景下，父母权利被用来实施图书禁令、规定谁能参加体育比赛等；这实际上是用一种语言包装起来，声称女性受到了威胁。而白人男性有责任保护女性免受威胁。”
她的竞选团队没有解释她此前的投票和言论与当前竞选立场是否一致，或者这些立场是否发生了变化。但在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中，特龙·加里约特的一位发言人表示，她坚持自己在竞选视频中的表态。
“萨拉不希望男性进入女性更衣室。作为一名家长，没有什么比我们孩子的安全更重要，这就是为什么她将始终站在父母一边，支持父母有权为孩子做出最佳选择，”发言人扎克·申克曼说道。

在她的竞选视频中，特龙·加里奥表示，太多政治注意力被放在了这个议题上。
“政客们在这些问题上变得过于极端。我将始终把孩子和家庭放在首位，”特龙·加里约特说道。
至少有一位共和党战略家并不认可她的立场转变。
“就连萨拉·特龙·加里约特的幕僚也意识到，她的激进记录和令人发指的‘觉醒’言论史在艾奥瓦州完全没有选举吸引力。再多的虚假广告或顾问谎言也掩盖不了这位‘觉醒邪恶女巫’及其对跨性别者全面包容的病态执念的真相，”共和党全国委员会（RNC）发言人扎克·克拉夫特在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道。

该选区现任议员纳恩在2024年的选举中以51.8%比47.9%的优势击败民主党挑战者拉农·巴卡姆成功连任。特龙·加里约特已获得民主党提名，将在11月3日的大选中与纳恩对决。

Sarah Trone Garriott, a Democratic candidate for Congress in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, is trying to reassure voters that she doesn’t support men having access to women’s locker rooms — a stance she believes her opponents have tried to obfuscate.
“I’m a mom with two kids in Iowa public schools. Their education and safety literally keep me up at night. So, when my opponent cherry-picks and twists my record, I have to set it straight,” Trone Garriott said in a recent campaign video.
“I oppose letting men in women’s locker rooms,” she added.

However, Trone Garriott’s voting record from her time in the Iowa legislature is clashing with her assertions, complicating the picture for her as she attempts to flip one of the country’s most competitive House seats and topple incumbent Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa.
Even before Trone Garriott captured the Democratic nomination to run in the district earlier this year, Republicans have sought to highlight parts of her record that seem to show she has championed positions farther left than the campaign she’s currently running.
Many have bashed a Muslim prayer she offered up on the Iowa Senate floor and how, as a Lutheran minister, she officiated a satanic wedding.
However, it was Trone Garriott’s stance on bathroom policy that Vice President J.D. Vance zeroed in on in a campaign speech for Nunn earlier this year.
“His opponent voted to push biological males in girls’ sports as early as kindergarten. She was voting against banning gender transition surgeries for minors,” Vance said.
Vance, like other Republican critics, referred to two key votes Trone Garriott cast in the Iowa Senate: one, passed in 2023, prohibits elementary and secondary schools from letting someone enter a bathroom “that does not correspond with the person’s biological sex.” A second bill, which became law in 2022, sets the eligibility rules for school and college sports teams based on biological sex.

Trone Garriott voted against both of them.
Her votes seem consistent with previous statements she made in 2023 where she indicated bathroom policies and sports policies looking to restrict participants were based on racial and gender tensions.
“It’s very threatening of the idea of the white, male powerful figure because it muddies the waters and makes things ambiguous and confusing,” Trone Garriott said in an address with the United Methodist Church, speaking on politics and faith.
“We see all sorts of responses happening in legislation and in community conflict — a lot more emphasis on really funding and supporting the private schools, the parents’ rights. And within that, the parents’ rights piece is used to enact book bans, sports bans about who can play and who can compete; it’s really couched in a language of there’s a threat to women. And white men are responsible to protect women against threats.”
Her campaign did not address how her previous votes and statements align with her current campaign positions, or whether those positions have changed. But in a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Trone Garriott said she stood by her campaign video.
“Sarah does not want men in women’s locker rooms. As a parent, there is nothing more important than the safety of our children, that’s why she will always stand up for a parent’s right to decide what’s best for their children,” Zach Schenkman, the spokesperson, said.

In her campaign video, Trone Garriott said she believed too much political attention had been given to the topic.
“Politicians have become too extreme on these issues. I’ll always put kids and families first,” Trone Garriott said.
At least one Republican strategist isn’t buying the switch in position.
“Even Sarah Trone Garriott’s handlers realize her radical record and insane history of woke statements is completely unelectable in Iowa. No amount of false ads or consultant lies will hide the truth about the Wicked Witch of Woke and her sinister trans-for-all obsession,” Zach Kraft, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee (RNC) said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Nunn, the district’s current representative, last won re-election in a 51.8% to 47.9% victory over Democratic challenger Lanon Baccam in 2024. With the Democratic nomination in tow, Trone Garriott will face off against Nunn in the Nov. 3 general election.
