It’s a cold one out in Eastern Iowa today, but nothing can stop me from meeting voters where they are.

I'm proud to be a reproductive freedom champion. Thank you to the health care workers, advocates, and legislators who joined me at our reproductive health care roundtable yesterday. When I am in the U.S. Senate, I'll fight like hell to codify Roe v. Wade. https://bit.ly/3LyT2D7

Today marks the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that gave women across the U.S. the right to reproductive freedom. It’s a difficult reminder of progress made and lost, and a call to action for the future.

Great to join @ppadvocatesia.bsky.social last night for their annual Advocacy on Tap event! When I represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate, I’ll fight like hell to codify Roe, restore abortion access, and address Iowa’s maternal health care crisis.

I represent one of the reddest seats held by a Democrat in Iowa. I’ve won tough races by showing up, listening, and working harder than anyone else. That’s exactly how I’ll serve you in the U.S. Senate.

As Iowa’s next Senator, I’ll always put Iowans first. I know Iowans are hurting. With cuts to health care, tariffs that decimated our farms, and an abysmal minimum wage, folks just can’t afford to get by.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring call to justice, equality, and human dignity. His leadership reminds us that real change is built through courage, compassion, and a willingness to stand for what is right, even when it is difficult.

Temps are dropping in Iowa, but the soup was warm and the energy was high at Grundy County last night! Thanks to everyone for coming out in the snow and the cold to hear about the generational opportunity we have to flip this seat.

Great time talking to the Johnston Area Dems this week! Glad to answer some questions about our path to victory and what makes 2026 different. I’m always grateful to folks for coming out and getting engaged in this election.

The Senate majority runs through Iowa. If Democrats are going to take back the Senate, then we have to flip this senate seat. It’s that simple. I’m ready to get it done, but I cannot do it alone. Can you chip in to help? secure.actblue.com/donate/tur_s...

In 2025, Iowa had the highest number of farm foreclosures in years. Our soybean farmers are worried their markets will never recover, all because of a chaotic tariff war led by folks in Washington who don’t care about our rural communities. As your next Senator, I won’t leave farmers behind.

This is a direct result of Ashley Hinson's failure to extend ACA subsidies. With premiums skyrocketing, Iowans are paying more for health care -- and some simply can't afford it. This is dangerous, especially in a state that's last in nearly every health care metric.

After spending months traveling across this state and talking to Iowans, I can tell you that Iowa is in trouble, and Iowans are hurting. I’m running for Senate because it's time we once again have a Senator who is fighting for the people, not just billionaire donors and corporations.

Ashley Hinson is Joni Ernst 2.0. She’s proven time and time again by her votes already that she too doesn’t care that people will die. https://x.com/iowademocrats/status/2010085473260318922?s=46&t=hZ_CfnnFQgdDUgzYtACFYw

I had a great time getting to meet with both Westside and Eastside Des Moines Dems this week. These rooms were packed with folks who are more ready than ever to flip this seat. The winds of change are here, Iowa!

The House just voted to extend ACA subsidies, protecting affordable health care for millions of Americans. Do you know who voted against it? Ashley Hinson. Remember that this November, Iowans. https://bit.ly/3YvvB0o

The influence of private equity is making it harder for Iowans to own homes. That's why I ran a bill in the Iowa House to do exactly what President Trump suggests. I hope Congress acts on this so more Americans can take the first step towards building generational wealth. https://politi.co/3Z3qIM0

As information continues to emerge about the situation in Venezuela we know one thing is true: nobody wants another unjustified, unconstitutional war that Congress didn’t approve. Washington should be focused on fixing the economy, lowering costs, and building up the middle class.

Earlier this year, Iowans broke the GOP supermajority and tonight we proved we aren’t giving it back. Congratulations to my friend & our new State Senator Renee Hardman. Iowans are fired up and ready for change. There's no denying Iowa is in play, and 2026 is the year we flip this U.S. Senate seat.

It’s Election Day, Iowa! If you live in Senate District 16, don’t forget to cast your ballot today for Renee Hardman. We need her energy and commitment to delivering for Iowans in Des Moines.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas. May your celebrations be filled with laughter, good food, and the warmth that comes from spending time with people who care about you.

Honored to have the support of UFCW 222. At a time when working class people are struggling to get by, unions are helping win back important benefits for their workers. When I'm in Washington, I'll never stop fighting to protect the rights of all workers.

My name is Josh Turek. I’m a 4x Paralympian and 2x gold medalist in wheelchair basketball, and Iowa State Rep who won a Trump district—twice. Now, I need your help to flip Iowa's U.S. Senate seat by making a critical donation before the end of the year: secure.actblue.com/donate/tur_s...

Ashley Hinson is platforming extremists instead of listening to the real struggles going on in our state. I believe in women’s rights, reproductive freedom, and bodily autonomy, and when I’m in Washington, I will fight to codify Roe v. Wade. https://bit.ly/455opeS

Ashley Hinson made it very clear she will not fight for working class Iowans when she voted against a bill that would restore collective bargaining rights for 1M federal workers, including 18,000 in Iowa. As @aflcio.org said, this was a line in the sand vote. https://bit.ly/4oVXwkI

Iowa farmers and ranchers are preparing to see their health care premiums skyrocket because Washington continues to fail our rural communities. https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/12/15/iowa-farmers-say-the-end-of-federal-health-care-tax-credits-will-hit-their-budgets/

Last week, I met with leaders at Manning Regional Healthcare Center to talk about challenges to rural health care. Our rural hospitals are essential, and in a state that's dead last in nearly every health care metric, we should be expanding access to affordable health care, not ripping it away.

My heart breaks for those impacted by today's devastating terrorist attack in Australia. As we mark the beginning of Hanukkah, we are reminded of the rise in antisemitism around the world. We must fight it with every fiber of our being. Wishing you and yours a happy Hanukkah.

I am praying for the families of the two Iowa National Guard soldiers who were killed in Syria today. Every Iowan is indebted to these brave heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect and defend our freedoms.

From soaring health care costs to commodities prices that are upside down, Iowans are hurting, and the people we've elected don't seem to care. Washington is failing Iowans, and they're ready for change. That's why we're going to win in 2026. www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

D.C. has once again failed working people. We need more people in Washington who understand the importance of affordable health care and the people who are worth fighting for. When I'm your Senator, I'll never stop fighting for affordable + accessible health care for all.

“Josh Turek is exactly the candidate we need to take advantage of this generational opportunity. He’s already proven he can win tough races, and this will be no different." I'm honored to have the endorsement of the Gronstals and 50+ other Iowa leaders: https://turek4iowa.com/endorsements/

Our farmers want markets, not handouts. www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p...

Ashley Hinson has no plan to keep healthcare premiums low. Subsidies expire in less than one month. You know who is going to suffer? Iowans. This is not the type of leadership we deserve. thehill.com/policy/healt...

After I was cut from the team, I worked overtime for six years because I was determined to win a gold medal for my country. I'm campaigning just like I played basketball: by outworking everyone. It's time we had someone in the Senate who fights for all Iowans.

Affordable Care Act subsidies expire in just over one month. Ashley Hinson and Washington Republicans are completely fine allowing your healthcare premiums to double just to give tax breaks to billionaires. We cannot allow it to happen. Extend the subsidies and protect healthcare.

My thoughts are with the injured national guardsmen and their families, and I’m praying for a swift recovery. Political violence has no sides and no place in America.

More than 100 Members of Congress from both parties support legislation to ban Members of Congress from trading stock. Ashley Hinson is not one of them, because she's in Washington for herself, not for Iowans. It's no wonder her net worth has increased 4x since she got there.

Iowa farmers are facing extremely tough times right now. Between foreign bailouts and costly trade wars, our farmers have been hit hard. Ashley Hinson thinks this is the "right direction." We're gonna defeat her next year.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to my political hero and Iowa legend Sen. Tom Harkin!

Even while other members of the Iowa delegation commit to doing the bare minimum to protect Iowans from skyrocketing health care costs, Ashley Hinson is silent. And we all know why: she’ll side with Big Pharma, corrupt billionaires, and D.C. donors over Iowans every time. https://bit.ly/485v4GA

Prices are simply too high for most Iowans right now, and it’s a direct result of a chaotic tariff policy that hurts both our farmers and our wallets. In the Senate, I’ll fight for policies that actually lower costs for your families.

Ashley Hinson did not sign onto the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, but Iowans are demanding that she vote YES when it comes to a full House vote. We need transparency. We need accountability. We don't need our voice in Washington covering for Jeffrey Epstein.

Hard work. Grit. Determination. That's the blueprint I used to win a seat Donald Trump won by double digits. I'm bringing the same energy to flipping this Senate seat, because it's time we have a Senator from Iowa who is working for the people.

Spent yesterday out in Calhoun County door knocking for @burnsforiowa.bsky.social with my friend @jdscholten.bsky.social! The winds of change are here, even out in Western Iowa, and it’s time we elect more Democrats up and down the ballot. Support Rachel for House District 7 on December 9th!

Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served our nation, including my father, a Vietnam veteran, and my nephew, who is currently serving in the Coast Guard. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to protect our nation. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

Affordable Care Act premiums are set to skyrocket because politicians like Ashley Hinson would rather bailout their billionaire donors than support everyday Iowans. We need to reopen the government and keep healthcare costs low. It's that simple. abcnews.go.com/US/insane-ac...

Happy Election Day, Iowa! There are some important races on the ballot across our great state. If you have not voted yet, make sure to make a plan, and get to the polls today! www.thegazette.com/article/its-...

Big day yesterday: 600+ miles, four events, and a lot of connecting with Iowans.
