Gruntwork

No doubt about it: I started the general election on the back wheel.

My campaign spent the first 9 months of the race locked in a tough multi-way primary battle. A lot of experts didn’t think I had a shot in such a crowded field.

It took a lot of gruntwork, grassroots investment, and groundwork to catch up, but on June 2nd we managed to pull off the 25-point victory no one saw coming.

But while we were grinding it out on the primary stage, my opponent, MAGA Rep. Ashley Hinson, was building up her general-election war chest, preparing her lines of attack, and courting the richest megadonors in the country (who are now spending $85 million of dark money trying to buy her this seat).

As the old saying goes: the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second-best time is today.

Whether you supported my campaign back then or haven’t had a chance until now, there’s no time like the present. Can I count on your support as we roll full-steam into the final days of this election?

With you,
Josh Turek
