Founding Donors: NEEDED

Ad copy

Iโ€™m Josh Turek. Iโ€™m a former pro wheelchair basketball player, four-time Paralympian, two-time Team USA gold medalist, and Democratic Iowa State Representative who won a Trump district. ๐—”๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—œโ€™๐—บ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ ๐—˜๐—ฟ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—จ.๐—ฆ. ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ. Thereโ€™s no denying this race is CRITICAL โ€“ it could determine Senate control. And where extremists like Ashley Hinson can rely on her big-money friends, Iโ€™m counting on grassroots donors to pitch in a couple bucks at a time to build the campaign we need to win. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m personally asking: Will you become a Founding Donor by pitching in $5, $10, or even $25 โ€“ any amount to help my team hit our launch goal?
