When I launched this Senate campaign over a year ago, I knew I had a long road ahead of me. Exhibit A:

Sounds daunting, but I’m the same guy who got cut from the national wheelchair basketball team and spent the next six years trying (and failing) to make a comeback.

It was a LONG road back to the Paralympics, but I did it, and was proud to represent Team USA again in 2012, 2016, and 2021.

So yeah…I can play the long game.

That’s fortunate, because I was a dark horse with no money when I launched this campaign. The long game was the only game I could play.

I went to county fairs, steak frys, and soup suppers all over Iowa. In June, I won the primary by 25 points.

This summer, I knocked doors and traveled to the 99th county in my tour of all 99 counties in Iowa. And even though I’m financially WAY outmatched by my Swamp opponent, we still took this Senate seat from “Likely R” to “Toss-Up.” 🔥

Now, I’m the front-roller for the most competitive Senate seat in the country.

We’re in the home stretch. 10-ish weeks to go. Thousands of on-the-fence voters and barely enough time to reach them all.

So you better believe I’m putting rubber to the road.

My wheels will keep spinning until we win this race — or they fall off. Whichever comes first.

The Senate, and the fate of our country, is riding on the result here in Iowa. Will you fuel me up so I can conquer the final stretch of this must-win race?

Full speed ahead,

Josh Turek
