The Bench

Changing the status quo of the Democratic Party by electing authentic leaders.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Farmers, fire fighters, veterans, smokejumpers, and more. Public servants who are true to their communities and built to win.

If you’re ready for a new generation of leadership, these are the candidates to support and names to know.

This is The Bench.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Without providers close by, rural Iowans have been forced to make impossible decisions.

@turek4iowa knows the healthcare system was broken to begin with — and he's going to fight like hell to fix it in the U.S. Senate.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

My name is Josh Turek. I’m running to be Iowa’s next United States Senator. Join our campaign and let's Push for Change together!

Sam Forstag watched his mom work as a nurse and still struggle to make ends meet.

It shouldn't take multiple jobs to afford groceries, pay the bills, and keep a roof over your family's head. But that's the reality for too many Montanans right now.

That's why @SamForstag is running for Congress.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

While Zach Nunn is hiding from his constituents, Sarah Trone Garriott is showing up.

@SarahforIowa doesn't ask if a neighbor voted for her, she asks how she can help. She's earned the trust of IA-03, and she's ready to flip this seat and keep showing up for Iowans.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

After 10 months of visiting every corner of the state, talking to Iowans from every county and all walks of life, the voters chose @turek4iowa to be their Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.

And he's ready to beat Ashley Hinson and flip this seat in November.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Montanans turned out for Sam Forstag yesterday because they know the way to win in Western Montana is by building a coalition of working people. Sam is going to flip #MT01 in November.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

Iowans are ready for change.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

We did it, Montana.

I couldn’t have done it without each of you who gave your time, talked to neighbors, and pitched in. What we built belongs to all of us. This is about the fight for working Montanans and now we take it on to November.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Congratulations to Sam Forstag!

A smokejumper, union leader, and now your Democratic nominee for Congress in #MT01 — Sam knows the struggles facing everyday Montanans, and he's ready to fight like hell for them in Congress.

Let's flip this seat, Montana!

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

We’re going to win this race and push for change in Iowa.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

I just became the Democratic nominee for Iowa’s Senate seat.
Now, the Cook Political Report just shifted the race rating in our direction!

We have a generational opportunity to flip Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat. Join us: https://t.co/WBFGxximW6

[Sarah Trone Garriott @SarahforIowa]

As a hospital chaplain, a parish pastor, a food pantry coordinator, and a State Senator, I’ve brought people together to help our neighbors. That's why I know we can flip this seat and lower costs, take on Washington corruption, and make health care affordable for Iowa families.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

My name is Josh Turek. I am a 2-time gold medalist, 4-time Paralympian in wheelchair basketball, one of the first permanently disabled members of the Iowa House, and I am honored to be Iowa's Democratic nominee for United States Senate.

If you are ready to push for change, join me: https://t.co/rXejLpuhG8

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Congratulations to @turek4iowa on becoming the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Iowa!

The path to the Senate majority runs through Iowa — and Josh is already building the coalition of Democrats, Republicans and Independents that we need to flip this seat.

Onto November!

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

It’s official: @SarahforIowa is your Democratic nominee for #IA03!

Sarah has dedicated her career to serving others and helping Iowans navigate life’s toughest challenges. She’ll be a strong voice for IA-03 in Congress — and she’s ready to beat Zach Nunn in November.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Watch this conversation between @turek4iowa and supporters the night before Election Day.

Josh has real plans to make people's lives better and hold insurance companies accountable. Because your medical decisions should be made by your doctor — not by a shareholder's bottom line.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

Prices in MT-01 continue to spiral out of control while wages stay stagnant. The Trump administration is dismantling the services Montanans rely on.

@SamForstag is going to Washington to fight for those crucial systems, and to put more money in the pockets of Montanans.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

"The problem with DC is that we've got millionaires looking out for billionaires."

@turek4iowa is ready to fight for Iowans in Washington. He's lived the struggles too many Iowa families face every day. This fight is personal for him — and he'll never forget who he's fighting for.

[The Bench @ElectTheBench]

MT-01, Election Day is a lot. Take a break and go on a walk with @SamForstag.

Then make a plan to get to the polls before 8pm!

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

It's Primary Day, Iowa! We have a generational opportunity to win back Senator Harkin’s seat and finally have someone in the Senate who will fight for Iowa and Iowans again. I'd be honored to have your support.

Polls close at 8pm. Make a plan to vote: https://t.co/j8lwRk5y8k
