Hey, John, my name is Josh Turek. I’m a former pro wheelchair
basketball player, four-time Paralympian, two-time Team USA gold medalist,
and Iowa State Representative who won a Trump district.

Now, I’m launching my campaign to defeat Joni Ernst and be Iowa’s defender
in the U.S. Senate.

Before I explain why I’m ALL-IN on this race, you should know that experts
are calling Iowa’s Senate seat one of the most likely to flip in 2026.
Control of the entire Senate could hinge on the outcome of this race.

[ [link removed] ]If you can, will you split a $25 donation to become a Founding Donor of
my campaign and help us hit our $100,000 launch goal? I’d love to have you
on Team Turek from the very beginning!

John
, I’m a
straight shooter, so let’s get this out of the way: I know taking on Joni
Ernst and her band of Swamp Politicians isn’t going to be easy.

But, I’m not a stranger to overcoming challenges and obstacles. I’m built
to beat them.

I won a Trump district in the Iowa State House that I was told would be
impossible for a Democrat to win. But, I knocked damn near every door in
Council Bluffs and Carter Lake—in a wheelchair. Often had to get up ten to
twenty stairs. Folks would ask “how the heck did you get up to my door?”
I’d tell them the truth: I crawled. I won by six votes.

Winning Iowa’s Senate race is another so-called “impossible” task. But,
I’m confident I’ll defeat Joni Ernst because we need leaders with grit and
guts now more than ever.

Farms and small businesses are getting crushed over a bogus trade war.
Millions of seniors, disabled people, even kids, will be kicked off health
care and food assistance so billionaires like Elon Musk can save a few
bucks on their tax bill. Costs are out of control and getting worse.
Extremists like Joni Ernst are working harder for wealthy elites than they
ever have for their constituents.

The bottom line: Iowans deserve a Senator who’s as hard a worker and as
proud a patriot as they are.

The good news is that Joni Ernst has never been more vulnerable. In fact,
election forecasters have already pushed this race toward Democrats and
one has Iowa ranked as Lean Republican.

This Senate race is one to watch. For that reason, it’s also on track to
be one of 2026’s most expensive elections.

Beating Joni Ernst will be costly, considering she has enough megadonor
cash and super PAC support to blanket the whole state of Iowa. No donation
is too small to make a difference here.

[ [link removed] ]I’m personally asking you to become one of the first supporters of my
campaign for U.S. Senate. Will you become a Founding Donor by splitting
$25, $10, or even $1 between my campaign and Blue Amp Action to show the
pundits and skeptics we’ve got the grassroots support and stamina to win
this race?

We have a ton of work to do and history to make here in Iowa. Let’s
do this!

Talk soon,

Josh Turek
