The panel, the campaign said, meets once a year and hears from state lobbyists about the Iowa state legislative session.<\/p><p>\u201cMatt\u2019s not a lobbyist nor has he ever lobbied Ashley on anything \u2014 they maintain the highest ethical standards,\u201d the Hinson campaign spokesperson said.

In 2021, Hinson reported that Arenholz sold interest in a private insurance company for over $1 million.<\/p>\n<p>Hinson has pitched herself in Iowa as a candidate who will take on powerful special interests.<\/p><p>In the first ad for her Senate campaign, Hinson said, \u201cHealth care companies are ripping you off, and members of Congress should not trade stocks.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m working with President Trump to take on big insurance companies, and I\u2019m fighting to ban stock trading in Congress,\u201d Hinson said in the ad.<\/p><p>The race for Senate in Iowa, with Hinson facing off against Democrat Josh Turek, has unexpectedly become one of the most important political contests in the 2026 midterms.<\/p><p>Hinson holds a polling advantage of less than 1 percentage point, according to <span><u>polling averages from RealClearPolitics<\/u><\/span>, meaning the race is a statistical dead heat, at present.<\/p><p>Last week, the Cook Political Report rated the Iowa Senate race a toss-up, shifting its rating toward Democrats.
