Hey, John, it’s Josh Turek checking in. I’m the Democrat in the
race for Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat, which could decide Senate control.

There’s no denying this race is CRITICAL, so before I tell you a little
about my background and how it brought me into this race, [ [link removed] ]I’m
personally asking you to consider splitting a donation between my campaign
and Blue Amp Action today. No donation is too small to have an impact.

Let’s rewind the tape: I was born in ‘79 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and
diagnosed with spina bifida caused by my dad’s exposure to Agent Orange in
Vietnam.

I had 21 surgeries before the age of 12. I grew up with the wrong color
lunch ticket at school, wearing Goodwill hand-me-downs.

I come from a big, close-knit family. But even still, life as a
small-town, working-class disabled kid in the ‘80s wasn’t all peaches and
cream. I was bullied so badly that I had to leave public school in sixth
grade. I was an isolated kid with a chip on my shoulder.

One summer, an adaptive sports camp across the river in Omaha introduced
me to wheelchair basketball.

Suddenly, I had a purpose. I played throughout high school and college. I
even went pro overseas for several years, where I met my wife, Jarolin.

I competed in four Paralympics and took home two gold medals and one
bronze for Team USA.

After I retired from wheelchair basketball, I won my first election for
Iowa State Rep by just 6 votes, in a solid-red Trump district no one
thought I’d win. Fast forward to now, and I’m proudly representing Council
Bluffs and Carter Lake at the Iowa State Capitol.

But when Joni Ernst replied to a constituent worried about Medicaid cuts
with the infamous line: “Well, we all are going to die,” I knew I had to
get in the game.

Then, she voted to cut Medicaid coverage for millions of Americans and
over 100,000 Iowans, and I was all in and ready to replace her.

I’m in this Senate race to give Iowans a shot at building a life, a
family, and a legacy they’re proud of. I’ll be a Senator they respect, who
respects them in return.

That’s the part we’ll achieve in the U.S. Senate (Step 2). First, we need
to get started on Step 1: winning one of the most-watched, must-win races
in the country.

[ [link removed] ]John, every vote and every dollar counts to help us build
out the team and ground game to win in Iowa. So please, don’t sit on the
sidelines. Will you split a $10 donation between my battleground Senate
campaign and Blue Amp Action today?

[ [link removed] ]DONATE $10

[ [link removed] ]DONATE $25

[ [link removed] ]DONATE MORE

I’m deeply grateful you’re in this fight with me.

Together,
Josh Turek
