Carlin endorses Hinson months after saying 'she doesn't share our values'
Ashley Hinson defends her stance on the Iran War during a Davenport stop announcing the support of a veterans' coalition Saturday, Oct. 13, 2026.
SIOUX CITY — Former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jim Carlin now has a different message to his followers about his party's nominee for the race, Ashley Hinson.
"She does not share our values and a Republican label is not enough," Carlin, a lawyer and former state legislator from Sergeant Bluff, said in an open letter to his supporters. "It has never been enough. And until our party understands that our votes must be earned, not assumed, nothing will change."
