Josh Turek for Iowa
Josh has the grit and determination it’ll take to beat Joni Ernst. Will you chip in today to help him win Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat?
Hey folks, I’m Brendan. You know the saying, “behind every amazing U.S. Senate Candidate is a stressed-out campaign manager?” That’s me, campaign manager for Democrat Josh Turek who is running for Iowa’s open U.S. Senate seat. Now, I’m not stressed about Josh – he knows how to win tough races. He’s currently serving in a Trump +20 district that he won by 6 points. What I am stressed about is fundraising. A big part of my job is making sure we have the funds to get Josh to every corner of Iowa to spread his message and talk to voters. And getting that message out is all the more important when we’re up against Republican Ashley Hinson who’s being backed by the DC establishment and spreading BS across the state. That’s why I’m reaching out today – I need you to chip in $5, $10 – whatever you can – to Josh’s campaign today so we can fight back against Hinson’s GOP money machine and push for change in Iowa. Can we count on you today?
