Call it delusion or dedication.

I’ve been called delusional before.
Josh Turek (D-IA) here. I’m not too proud to admit that I was cut from the wheelchair basketball national team after the ‘04 Paralympics.
It took 6 years to finally make the team again. In 2012, we won bronze.🥉2016 & 2021: back-to-back gold 🥇🥇
Experts called me delusional when I ran for State House in deep-red Western Iowa…until I won that November & was re-elected in 2024.
They didn’t think I’d be able to win a Senate primary until I did.
They didn’t expect me to wind up TIED with my MAGA opponent until polls proved it.
Call it delusion or call it dedication, but I’m giving 110% until the last ballot is counted. Will you invest $10 to help me shock the world and defy the odds AGAIN in November?



Let’s do this,
