Josh Turek for Iowa

Ad copy

Hey, it’s Josh Turek. I’m running for Iowa’s open U.S. Senate seat and it’s a heavy lift. I'm up against a millionaire and her billionaire donors. And I’m not taking a single penny from corporate PACS. Many hands make light work. Will you help lighten the load by spotting my campaign just $5 today? I have a big fundraising deadline coming up and we have to show off our grassroots strength. 💪

Standout elementcandidate in a wheelchair at a weightlifting gym, visually embodying the 'heavy lift' metaphor in the copy
TacticThe ad cleverly fuses a literal gym setting with the 'heavy lift' fundraising metaphor while using the candidate's disability to humanize him and contrast his grassroots struggle against a wealthy opponent and her billionaire donors.
