Josh Turek for Iowa
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. 💪
