Josh Turek for Iowa

ad creative

Rush a donation to replace Ernst!

Ad copy

I’m Josh Turek, and I am seriously pissed off about my Republican opponent Joni Ernst’s vote to gut Medicaid. With that vote, Joni Ernst told us what another six years with her in the Senate will be like. Your health? Not her problem. Your life? Not her problem. Your kids’ future? Not her problem. I’m one of the 1 in 5 Iowans with a disability. I’m here because of social safety nets. They’re lifelines for so many Americans, and I won’t let politicians like Joni Ernst cut them to fund billionaire tax cuts. That’s why I'm asking: Will you chip in $10 to help me replace Ernst in the U.S. Senate?
