Josh Turek

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

My name is Josh Turek. I'm a two-time Paralympic gold medalist. I'm a proud State Legislator from Council Bluffs who represents the reddest seat held by a Democrat in Iowa. And I'm the guy who's going to beat Joni Ernst. Repost this, give us a follow, and let’s win together.

Joni Ernst doesn't care about Iowans because "we all are going to die." It's shameful. And as someone in a wheelchair from spina bifida from my dad's exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, I'd like to see her tell that to my face.

Earlier this year, patients from Ottumwa were referred to Centerville after two Ottumwa health care clinics closed. Now, Centerville is closing a clinic. This will just keep getting worse if we allow Ashley Hinson to continue her attacks on Iowans' health care. https://bit.ly/4eQ222W

I know it’s families like mine who pay the price for Trump’s health care cuts, his tariffs, and his overseas wars. In the Senate, I’ll take on Trump, and anyone else in Washington, to do what’s right for Iowa.

I grew up wearing Goodwill hand-me-downs and relying on the free summer lunch program. I know what so many Iowa families are feeling right now because I’ve lived it. We need more individuals from places like Council Bluffs in the Senate, not more millionaires.

Health care is a human right, and that includes reproductive health care. In the Senate, I’ll fight to make Roe v. Wade the law of the land again, address Iowa’s OBGYN crisis, and protect access to contraception and IVF.

I believe health care is a human right, and that’s why I’ll fight for a public option so every single Iowan can access the care they need.

I had 21 surgeries before the age of 12. I know the struggle for affordable health care in a deeply personal way. We need to ensure that every American has access to basic health care, because health care is a human right.

I’m the only candidate in this race who’s ever run against a Republican, let alone beaten one. I’m battle-tested and ready to defeat Ashley Hinson and flip this seat in November.

My name is Josh Turek. I'm a 4x Paralympian, 2x gold medalist in wheelchair basketball, and Iowa State Rep who won a Trump district — twice. Now, I'm running for Senate because Ashley Hinson has failed our state, and Iowans deserve a senator who will fight for them.
