Iowa Democrat Josh Turek Launches First Senate Campaign TV Ad
Iowa Democrat Josh Turek launched his first TV ad for the Senate campaign, vowing to oppose Trump. The 30-second ad does not mention his Democratic primary opponent, state Sen. Zach Wahls, instead spotlighting probable Republican candidate, Rep. Ashely Hinson, alongside Trump.
In the ad, Turek argues that Trump’s policies have adversely affected working families and farmers in Iowa. The commercial will air on TV and digital platforms across Iowa, as Turek aims to replace the retiring Republican Sen. Joni Ernst.
Turek, a Paralympian with two gold medals and spina bifida, was first elected to the state House in 2022 and represents a district Trump won in 2024. Despite Trump’s significant victory in Iowa during the 2024 election, Turek reaffirms his commitment to challenge Trump’s policies in the Senate.
“I opposed their Medicaid cuts, abortion bans and attacks on our rights, and I always will,” Turek asserts in the ad. “In the Senate, I’ll take on Trump, and no one will push harder for change.”
