I’m Josh Turek and I’m the nominee to replace Joni Ernst in Iowa.

I’m Josh Turek. I’m a Democratic state legislator who won a deep red seat, four-time Paralympian, and two-time gold medalist in wheelchair basketball.

I thought the feeling of winning my first gold medal at the 2016 Rio Paralympics would only come once in a lifetime. But, the race was just called:

I’m officially the Democratic nominee for Iowa’s open U.S. Senate seat.

Grassroots energy usually peaks in the first few days after a primary, so we have to get down to business ASAP. Will you help me make the most of our hard-fought victory by splitting a donation between my campaign and Sherrod Brown to become one of the first Founding Donors of my General Election campaign?

Split a donation!

I’m honored that the people of Iowa have put their faith in me, and I’m ready to take this once-in-a-generation shot to win this OPEN seat and be the champion working people deserve in Washington.

I got into this race because like millions of fellow Democrats, I was fed up with losing, fed up with treating “red” states like lost causes and tired of perpetually playing defense.

I won this primary because I played offense, and I’m going to run a relentless full-court press to win this seat in November.

I don’t take a penny of corporate PAC money. Your support, and your support alone, will help us flip Iowa blue for the first time in more than a decade and take back the Senate Majority.

I’m personally asking you to become one of our first General Election Founding Donors by splitting a contribution of $15, $20, $35, or more today. Your contribution will power my voter outreach so I can flip Joni Ernst’s Senate seat and restore hope and faith in the great state of Iowa.

Split a donation!

Look, I’m under no illusions about the work it’ll take to win a battleground Senate race as a Democrat in Iowa. Taking on Joni Ernst, Ashley Hinson, and their billionaire-fueled MAGA Machine will be a beast of a challenge — physically, mentally, financially.

But I’m not your average career politician. I’ve won back-to-back victories in deep red Trump country. Polls show me either tied with or one point ahead of my official Republican opponent, Ashley Hinson.

This election will be a nail-biter, and it starts right now.

We have 153 days to bring independents and conservatives into our Prairie Populist coalition; to overcome over $40 million in spending from MAGA megadonors; and to let the world know that working-class Americans own the future.

Ads, statewide tours, and campaign infrastructure don’t come cheap, and our campaign coffers are nearly empty after a hard-fought and high-cost primary victory.

The outcome of this race will decide the Senate majority with huge implications for our country, so my team and I need every single solitary ounce of support to hit the ground rolling. Will you rush a split contribution to become one of my first General Election Founding Donors in this high-stakes Senate race ASAP?

We have a ton of work to do and history to make here in Iowa.

Let’s do this.

Talk soon,
Josh Turek

BREAKING: GOP launches surprise $6.3 MILLION ad buy to protect the Senate

Politico: Breaking Koch-aligned PAC launches first big Senate ad buy

This is urgent.

Just this morning, the multi-billionaire Koch family super PAC launched a seven-figure surprise ad buy in Ohio to defeat Sherrod and ruin our chances of flipping this seat.

We need today to be a record-breaking grassroots fundraising day or else we won’t have the resources to fight back and win. Please, can you help us raise $50,000 before midnight tonight with a donation of $5?

EXPRESS DONATE

National Republicans were already pummeling our campaign with $81 MILLION worth of baseless attack ads. Now, they’re piling on with even more – in what experts predict will be one of the most expensive Senate races in the country.

The GOP is FLOODING Ohio with dark money because they know that if we lose here, we’ll lose our chance to flip the Senate.

We can’t be caught flat footed by this ad blitz, so we set an emergency goal to raise an extra $50,000 before midnight so we can scale up our own advertising and voter contact immediately.

Polling shows this race neck and neck – and failing to respond to these latest attacks could cost us this seat for good. So please, rush $5 or as much as you can spare to help us fight back against the GOP, win in Ohio, and flip the Senate.

Thank you so much.

Team Sherrod

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Hey there! It's Sherrod Brown.

There's nobody fighting for Ohioans in the U.S. Senate right now, and I won't sit on the sidelines while working people get screwed over by large corporations and wealthy political donors.

If you work hard, you should be able to afford a decent life. But the reality is, life is too expensive. Costs are going up. Wages are staying stagnant. Working people are working harder than ever before, and they're not getting their share of the profit.

This campaign is all about changing that – and election analysts say we have a strong shot at winning in November.

But I'll need your help to pull it off: My opponent is a Washington insider being propped up by the Republican establishment, and he's got virtually unlimited resources.

That's not how our campaign works. We're a grassroots movement, and that means we rely on ordinary people chipping in a couple bucks. If you're able, please make a donation of any amount today. It could be what helps us flip Ohio and the Senate.

If you'd like to receive exclusive updates from my team, you can text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you.

Setback (not great)

Hi,

I’ve been reviewing our fundraising numbers, and things aren’t looking so great.

This slowdown comes on the heels of the GOP’s top super PAC announcing a nearly $80 million investment in Ohio – and they’ll use every cent to try to defeat me.

Listen, I know we can win this race. Experts know it, too: Both The Cook Political Report and Inside Elections recently upgraded our chances of flipping this seat.

But right now, the only way I can fight back against the GOP’s attacks and keep up our momentum is with grassroots support. We just can’t afford a setback like this.

Please: If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to make your first donation to our campaign, today is the day. Will you chip in $5 to flip Ohio and the Senate?

Thanks for coming through.

how I got here, and what I’m fighting for

Jeanne, we’re down to the wire. Before I ask you to make an urgent split donation between Catherine Cortez Masto and my campaign before midnight, I want to take a moment to share how I got here and what I’m fighting for.

CONTRIBUTE

I am the proud descendant of generations of fierce Pueblo women. Their strength and resilience gave me the courage to run for office and fight for New Mexicans, including standing up to Donald Trump.

I made history as one of the first Native American women elected to Congress and then the first Native American Cabinet Secretary in U.S. history. And when we win this race, I will be the first Native American woman elected Governor in any state.

But for me, this work has never been about titles or being the first.

It’s about fighting for working families, standing up for New Mexicans, and making sure more people have a seat at the table. I want to leave the ladder down for the next generation of leaders and build a government that truly reflects and fights for the people it serves.

Higher wages. Lower costs. Stronger education so our kids can read earlier. Protecting and expanding access to healthcare in every part of New Mexico so you can see a doctor even when you’re not sick. Investing in mental and behavioral healthcare, substance use treatments and rehabilitation, and housing stability so we can make our communities safer.

That's just a quick look into my vision for the future of New Mexico and our country, and now, I'm asking you to invest in it. I truly believe there's nothing we can't accomplish if we work together, and with thousands of New Mexicans already casting their ballots, I need you with me now more than ever. So please, Jeanne, can I count on you to chip in $5 or more — split between Catherine Cortez Masto and my campaign — before midnight to help me fight for working families, deliver real progress for New Mexicans, and leave the ladder down for the next generation of leaders?
