Donate to Flip Iowa’s Senate Seat

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?

Ad copy

I’m Josh Turek. I just launched my campaign to replace Joni Ernst in the U.S. Senate. Experts are calling Iowa’s Senate seat one of the most likely to flip in 2026, and control of the entire Senate could hinge on the outcome of this race. It won’t be easy, but I won a Trump district in the Iowa State House – that I was told would be impossible for a Democrat to win – by 6 votes. Winning Iowa’s U.S. Senate race is another so-called “impossible” task. But I know that I have the grit and guts to replace Joni Ernst next year. If you’re with me, will you donate today?
