Josh Turek for Iowa
Working-class folks feel like they’re pushing uphill. It’s because we have leaders like my GOP opponent, Ashley Hinson, that care more about billionaires and big corporations than they do about us. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to change that. I have real, lived experience and have taken on uphill challenges my entire life. Will you donate $5 or $10 to help us push ahead in this open race and change the country?
