Iowa Senate candidates zero in on cancer crisis as key race tightens

In the surprisingly tight race for Iowa’s open Senate seat, candidates Josh Turek and Ashley Hinson are highlighting the state’s alarming cancer diagnosis rates, a critical issue resonating with voters. With both candidates vying to fill the seat vacated by Joni Ernst, this focus on public health underscores the growing concern over cancer in Iowa.
