Evidence timeline
Where statements meet the record.
campaign position
Thomas Laehn: Not comparable yet
His campaign says he would pass legislation prohibiting private companies from using eminent domain to take property for commercial gain. No like-for-like official action exists: his current public role is county attorney, not legislator. Limit: No like-for-like official action exists: a county attorney's office takes no legislative position on eminent domain. The dated post and the platform say the same thing; the post's polling figure is his claim and is not verified here.
official action
Ashley Hinson: Matches stated direction
Her campaign says it champions year-round E15 and Iowa biofuels. She cosponsored H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025, which amends the Clean Air Act's Reid Vapor Pressure ethanol waiver, on February 13, 2025, and voted Yea on its House passage on May 13, 2026 (Roll Call 164, 218 to 203). The bill was received in the Senate on May 14, 2026 and referred to committee. Limit: "Got it done" in the May 13 post refers to House passage; the bill is not law and was referred to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on May 14, 2026. This card covers the legislative route to year-round E15 only.
