Josh Turek. Josh Turek. Josh Turek.

He got my attention for sure. That used to be Tom Harkin's seat, right?

Democrats need to reoccupy that seat for sure.

I don't live in Iowa, so I can't vote for him. But I can support his campaign

in the form of donations! Thanks applegrove for bringing this ad to DU.

Josh Turek. A name you can't forget!

There is a reason they dont show that Gov abbot in texas is in a wheelchair. Maybe they should throw his ass in a work camp so he can do something useful, other than steal other peoples rights.

Not sure if Caitlin Clark is going to go Jordan to sell more shoes or will try to use her popularity for good, but some campaigning from her would be HUGE.

Good mix of positive and reminder of who his opponent really is..."all die" Ernst
