I’m Democrat Josh Turek and I’m ready to defeat Joni Ernst for Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat. I was born an underdog. But with a whole lot of grit, I was able to chase my American Dream: from winning two gold medals for Team USA in the Paralympics, to being elected State Rep. in a district that Trump won twice – by just 6 votes. And now I’m running for the U.S. Senate. People may think this is a long shot, but I’ve been counted out before and came out on top. I have the grit and the heart to fight to the finish – with your help. If you’re with me, if you’re ready to push for change, will you chip in and become a Founding Donor of my campaign today? Together, we can do this.
