Iowans deserve someone representing them in Washington who actually fights for them and works on bipartisan solutions to people’s problems.

Had an incredible time in Cedar Falls today rolling in the UNI homecoming parade. Go Panthers!

Right now, we are going in the wrong direction when it comes to taking care of our children and loved ones with disabilities. I sat down with parents of disabled children from all across Iowa to hear their stories firsthand.

Ashley Hinson said she would consider raising the Social Security retirement age. Politicians like Ashley Hinson treat Social Security like a bargaining chip. It’s an earned benefit hardworking folks spend their lives paying into.

Last night, Ashley Hinson made it clear: she won’t protect Iowans’ Social Security. My pledge to Iowans is that I will never support cuts to Social Security.

It was so cool visiting the T12 Distillery in West Des Moines for a great behind-the-scenes tour of their operation brewing whiskey with Iowa corn!

I am honored to have the support of my political hero, Senator Tom Harkin. His work as the architect of the ADA gave me and so many other disabled Americans an on-ramp onto society. Iowans deserve to once again have a fighter for the people, like we did for so long with Senator Harkin.

Ashley Hinson has used her position of power to make herself up to $8 million more wealthy while cutting healthcare and food assistance to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Politicians like Ashley Hinson are why we have a corruption crisis in this country that is leading to an affordability crisis.

To every Iowan paying more at the pump, that’s because of Ashley Hinson. To every farmer facing record diesel prices, that’s because of Ashley Hinson. In the U.S. Senate, I will fight for Iowa and Iowans, not billionaires and large corporations.

I believe more than Republican versus Democrat, what Iowans want is someone that is going to fight for them.

Ashley Hinson said she would consider raising the Social Security retirement age. Politicians like Ashley Hinson treat Social Security like a bargaining chip. Iowa’s seniors deserve a champion in the U.S. Senate, and that is exactly what I will be.

Ashley Hinson went to D.C. and got up to 15x wealthier.

Ashley Hinson voted five times to keep tariffs that drove up costs for Iowa farmers. She voted seven times to keep the reckless war in Iran going while gas prices climbed.

Josh Turek @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Ashley Hinson has voted to continue the war in Iran seven times, and Iowans are paying the price for that decision. Diesel is at an all-time high, fertilizer prices are skyrocketing, and fuel prices are increasing faster in Iowa than almost any other state.

Everywhere I go, I’m hearing Iowans say the same thing: They're struggling. They’re struggling to keep food on the table, a roof above their heads, and gas in the tank because of this war in Iran that Ashley Hinson voted seven times to support.

BREAKING: A new Suffolk Poll shows us leading by 4 points in this race! With just 27 days until Election Day, it's clear that Iowans are fed up with corruption in Washington and ready for change. Iowans are ready for a senator who fights for them, not billionaires and big corporations

Our first General Election debate is TONIGHT at 7PM. I’m fighting for Iowans. She’s fighting to enrich herself and her billionaire donors. Excited to share my common-sense prairie populist vision on the debate stage tonight. Hope you tune in!

Over and over again, I meet Iowans who tell me they can’t get the home care they need. It’s wrong. Iowans deserve representatives in Washington who know what it's like to struggle. Because when you have gone through it, you’ll have a different level of empathy and a different level of fight.

Doctors should decide care, not insurance companies. That is what I will always fight for in the United States Senate.

No individual party has a monopoly on good ideas. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Republican or a Democratic idea, I will always make my decision based on what is best for the people of Iowa.

Stopped for a great cup of coffee on the campaign trail at Saints Rest Coffee House in Grinnell and had the chance to chat with some folks about what’s at stake in this election.

Black Hawk County, we’ve got less than 30 days. Let’s get out the vote! Iowans are ready for change and it’s going to take all of us knocking doors, making phone calls, and reaching out to our friends and family to make it happen.

I had a blast at Amana Colonies Oktoberfest today: great beer, great food, and so many folks ready to Push for Change!

I won my first election by just 6 votes. I would drag my wheelchair up stairs just to knock on someone’s door. Why? Because that’s how important your vote is to me.

Loooooooong line out the door for tonight’s sold-out event with Heather Cox Richardson, me, and 700+ Iowans.

BREAKING: A new poll from Rasmussen shows our campaign leading by 4 points! This proves what we already knew. Iowans are sick and tired of corrupt D.C. politicians like Ashley Hinson. In 32 days, Iowans will vote for change.

It is peak harvest season in Iowa, and diesel prices are skyrocketing to historic highs. These heightened fuel and fertilizer costs are pushing our farmers towards foreclosure. That’s unacceptable. Our Iowa farmers deserve a senator who will fight for them.

Gas and diesel prices have risen more here in Iowa than almost any other state in the country. We are all paying the price. Meanwhile, Ashley Hinson has voted over and over for policies that have jacked up prices, while she gets richer and richer. Watch our new ad:

I swung by Hilltop Apartments in Des Moines for a town hall conversation with Iowa seniors about what’s at stake in this election. Ashley Hinson’s own campaign admitted that she supported cuts to Social Security. I will always fight to protect Iowans’ Social Security.

I am grateful to announce 20 more Iowa veterans are joining our growing Veterans for Turek coalition. I am proud to have the support of these brave men and women from across our state who know that I will fight for an end to the type of forever wars Ashley Hinson has repeatedly voted to continue.

It’s time we have leaders who fight for Iowans, not just themselves.

When I played for Team USA, I learned the importance of working as a team. The only team Ashley Hinson is on is her own. I will always be Team Iowa.

Since Ashley Hinson went to D.C., 842 healthcare entities have closed here in Iowa. Iowans are hurting, and they deserve someone in Washington who will fight for them, not for billionaires and big corporations. That's why I'm in this race: to put Iowa and Iowans first.

The war in Iran is only “out of sight, out of mind” for someone like Ashley Hinson.

Ashley Hinson said the war in Iran that she voted seven times to continue is “out of sight, out of mind” for Iowans. Watch this Iowa farmer react:

Everywhere I go, working families tell me that they’re struggling just to make ends meet. There is something fundamentally wrong with that.

Iowa’s gas prices continue to skyrocket, fueled by another forever war in the Middle East. Iowans deserve a senator who’ll fight for them. Instead, Ashley Hinson has voted seven times to continue the war in Iran.

Diesel is at an all-time high. Fertilizer costs are through the roof. Enough is enough. Iowans deserve a senator who is looking out for them, not just for the billionaires and large corporations.

I am incredibly honored to have the endorsement of the Iowa Farmers Union. Farmers across Iowa are hurting because of the reckless policies coming out of Washington. Politicians like Ashley Hinson are failing our Iowa farmers. They deserve better.
