Defining myself before MAGA does it for me.

My NEW TV ad — our first of the General Election — just went live across Iowa!

Based on recent polling data, I have a 26-point favorability advantage over my MAGA opponent, but I lag behind her in name recognition.

In other words, there are still a lot of voters who haven’t heard of or from me yet. But when they hear my Prairie Populist message, they like me.

This ad is a way to introduce myself to folks on my own terms. Preferably before my opponent and her party bosses seize the opportunity to spend millions painting me as everything I’m not.

Getting ads like this into living rooms in every corner of Iowa — and by extension, every unreached voter — is critical. (Slightly outside our budget, yes, but a must if we’re going to flip this must-win Senate seat.)

But here’s the hard truth: We fell 8% short of our fundraising target in July, so we can’t just reserve more airtime outright. I’m counting on your support to get our ad onto screens across Iowa so voters can hear what our campaign is all about.

That’s the objective. You can help me reach it. Please, pitch in $2 or $10 so I can introduce myself to voters before MAGA swoops in.

Thank you,
Josh Turek (D-IA)
