Josh Turek for Iowa

ad creative

Will you rush a donation today??

Ad copy

Hey stop scrolling: Josh Turek here, Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate here in Iowa. I honestly hate asking you to chip in your hard-earned money, but we have to. My opponent, Ashley Hinson, is raising millions from corporate PACs and special interest groups. But we're doing things in a grassroots way over here at team Turek. I'm not taking any corporate PAC money. I’m relying on grassroots donations from folks like you. That’s why I’m asking if you’ll chip in today. We've got a real chance to win this Iowa Senate seat , but not without your help. So I'm asking you, will you chip in whatever amount you can today?

TacticThe 'I hate asking but we have to' framing deploys reluctant-ask psychology to lower donation friction while the PAC contrast positions small donations as a moral act against corporate money.
