Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific claim that Josh Turek had a 40% attendance rate while collecting per diem — a verifiable legislative record claim that, if false, would materially mislead voters about an opponent's conduct.
What we foundTurek did collect the Iowa per diem program payments while missing approximately 58% of floor votes in the 2026 session — roughly equivalent to 'two out of five days' present — but the figure applies only to House floor votes and not to his full work record, and his career attendance rate was 81%.
