This ruling is fundamentally wrong.

Here in Iowa, we have a cancer crisis that is taking away our loved ones. And yet, Washington has chosen YET AGAIN to protect the companies poisoning Iowans with their cancer-causing chemicals, instead of protecting us.

Washington is broken. And I’m running to fix it. We don't have time to wait.

Health care is a human right, and that includes reproductive health care.

Four years after the Dobbs decision, Iowa women are living under an extreme abortion ban backed by my opponent.

Ashley Hinson has repeatedly cosponsored a total abortion ban without exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. When I’m in the Senate, I’ll fight to restore Roe.

A new poll shows us up 2 points and proves what we already know: Iowa is in play.

We have real momentum, and this November, we’re going to flip this seat.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

We're winning this race because Iowans are sick of multi-millionaire politicians like Ashley Hinson selling us out.

My dad’s love, strength, and sacrifice helped shape who I am today.

I’m proud to be my father’s son.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

Today on Juneteenth, I paid a visit to the African American Museum of Iowa in Cedar Rapids.

It was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the history, stories, and people who have helped shape Iowa and our country.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

Today on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and remember the generations of Black Americans denied their fundamental rights.

As we reflect on our history, we honor Black Americans whose perseverance and leadership have moved our country forward.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

I’m proud to have the support of the Iowa Federation of Labor and six of Iowa’s largest labor unions — representing more than 100,000 Iowa workers.

In the Senate, I will fight to strengthen our unions, protect collective bargaining rights, cut taxes for the middle class, and ensure every Iowan has access to affordable health care and housing.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

I am deeply saddened to learn that Maj. Brad Hovey, an Algona native and Iowa State graduate, was among those who lost their lives in the B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base.

He dedicated his life to serving our country, and my heart is with his family, loved ones, fellow servicemembers, and all Iowans mourning his loss.

When I knock on Iowans’ doors, the very first question I often get is “how in the world did you get up here?”

When Iowans see me dragging my wheelchair up their stairs to have a conversation, they know I’ll always fight for them.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

Cook Political Report just shifted this race in our direction and polling shows me TIED with my Republican opponent, Ashley Hinson!

Iowa is ready for change. Together, we’re going to win this race and flip this seat.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

There is far more that unites us than divides us.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

Tariffs are absolutely decimating our Iowa farmers, more than 100,000 Iowans are losing their health care, and thousands are losing food assistance, all just to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Iowans are hurting and they’re ready for change.

[Josh Turek @turek4iowa]

Team USA, always. 🇺🇸

We’ve seen what happens when Iowa hands public work over to private companies.

Privatized Medicaid hurt Iowans. Now even more privatization is causing 200 Iowa workers to be laid off and Iowans’ data to be transferred to private companies without clear security guardrails.

This is wrong for Iowans and wrong for workers.
