Hi there, folks – Patty here, with big news out of Iowa for you: |
Josh Turek is our official Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Iowa. And as a Paralympic gold medalist and a proven fighter who won a deep-red state House seat in a district Trump carried, I believe he has a real shot at flipping this seat. |
But in a race that could decide the Senate majority, he'll need all hands on deck to overcome the MAGA money machine. |
So after he reached out for help, the least I could do was pass along the message and see if you'd split a $4 donation (or any amount) between our campaigns today. And now, I'll let him take it away. ⤵︎ |
Thanks for everything, |
Patty |

❗️FIRST, A SURPRISE: The first general election poll dropped just a week after my primary victory, showing me TIED with Joni Ernst’s handpicked replacement in Iowa’s open Senate race. |
⚾ THEN, A CURVEBALL: A second poll dropped, showing me with a narrow 2% lead over my opponent. |
💣 💥 NOW, A BOMBSHELL: A brand-new poll – from Fox News, of all sources – has me leading by 4% in Iowa’s U.S. Senate race. |
|
|
|
When I first got in this race, people told me I couldn’t win. Now, even Fox News is acknowledging the strength of this Prairie Populist movement. |
But before we start celebrating, remember this: A working-class son of Iowa becoming a United States Senator is the Swamp’s worst nightmare. |
My opponent can’t risk disappointing her billionaire sponsors. She has a huge cash advantage and zero shame. There's no line she won't cross to keep this seat red. |
But everything else that matters in politics – energy, hope, excitement, trust – is all right here with us. |
Once we have the resources to take on the billionaire political machine, we can win one of the most competitive elections of 2026 and flip Iowa blue. We can take back the Senate and reassert the power of working people in this country. |
It all starts right here, with you. |
So today, I need you to split $4 – $1 for every point I’m ahead in this poll – between Patty Murray and me. A surge of grassroots energy will help us seize this moment. |
