Democrat Josh Turek here with some quick updates for John:

WHAT: Our Iowa U.S. Senate campaign is required by the FEC (Federal Election Commission) to compile a report of every dollar we raised and spent this quarter.

WHEN: The quarter ends just before midnight on Tues, 9/30. After that, my finance team will put our official report together and submit it to the FEC.

In mid-October, our report will go public.

WHY: These finance reports help ensure transparency, but they also shape news coverage, influence race ratings, and determine public faith in our campaign.

If all those weren’t reasons enough, get this:

A really strong report will force D.C. Republicans to pull resources from OTHER Senate battlegrounds like Michigan, Maine, and North Carolina JUST to keep their grip on Iowa – increasing our odds of swinging control of the Senate.

This weekend, my team and I will put our noses to the grindstone to push our first-ever FEC fundraising report to the next level.

So, with just 6 days to go: Will you split a donation of $10 right away with Hold Them Accountable to help us flex our campaign’s strength in this MUST-WIN battleground race?
