The Paralympics begin today! It was the honor of my life to represent Team USA at the Paralympics. I’m sending my best wishes to our Paralympians competing in Italy over the next few weeks and I look forward to cheering on Team USA.

Ashley Hinson just voted against the War Powers Resolution. This costly war with no clear objective does nothing to help struggling Iowans.

Iowans can't afford health care or groceries and this administration is spending $1B a day on a war with no end in sight.

Washington's priorities are all wrong. As usual.

I won my first race by just 6 votes. And I did it by knocking on nearly every door in my district. Every day, hot or cold, rain or shine, I got out there. I’ll take that same grit to the Senate, but I can’t get there alone.

Can you chip in today? https://bit.ly/4ra1hnK

Over 1,000 miles, 5 events, and a whole lot of talking to Iowans about the issues that matter most. Thanks to everyone who came out to talk to us about the affordability crisis, workers’ rights, and my vision for Iowa.

My Pushing for Change Agenda is now live. This set of policy priorities is laser focused on building up the middle class and addressing corruption in Washington.

Check out my plans to deliver for working class Iowans: https://turek4iowa.com/platform.

Congress misses E15 deadline, Iowa biofuels advocates ramp up pressure The U.S. House of Representatives swept past a Feb. 25 deadline to bring a bill establishing the year-round sale of E15 to the floor.

The deadline to find a solution on E15 came and went without any action by Iowa's congressional delegation.

Ashley Hinson once again fails to deliver for Iowa's farmers.

Coralville's former Sen. Bob Dvorsky and former Iowa Democratic Party Chair Sue Dvorsky were day one endorsers for this campaign. These two have decades of experience electing Democrats up and down the ballot and know what it takes to win tough races. I’m honored to have them on #TeamTurek.

Just a reminder: everything is more expensive now because of Ashley Hinson’s votes.

Gov. Kim Reynolds using state-owned plane, reversing past practice Gov. Kim Reynolds has been using a state airplane for travel after Iowa purchased a 14-passenger Cessna using COVID relief funds just over a year ago.

Flying on a private plane paid for by tax dollars to make a political endorsement isn’t official business. It’s corruption.

Ashley Hinson is complicit in the misuse of your taxpayer dollars β€” that’s disqualifying.

Last week was a banner week for this campaign, full of moments that showed the power and momentum driving us toward November. It’s all gas, no brakes β€˜til we defeat Ashley Hinson and flip this seat.

Ashley Hinson will put party leadership over hardworking Iowans, every single time.

Thank you to the International Association of Machinists for having me at their statewide conference today! I talked to union leaders about the importance of flipping the House and Senate so we can have a pro-worker majority in Washington.

I'm grateful for the support from Bob and Sue Dvorsky, who between the two of them have decades of experience electing Democrats and overcoming long odds to win tough races. https://bit.ly/4kTT4mi

Republicans are nervous because they know that Iowa is in play. We have a generational opportunity to flip this seat, and new polling shows me neck-and-neck with Ashley Hinson.

Can you donate today to help us keep this momentum?

Ashley Hinson had four opportunities to check the President’s power and stop the chaotic tariffs that have hurt our Iowa farmers and driven up the cost of goods everywhere. As the only candidate in this primary to have even run against a Republican, I’m ready to keep Hinson out of the U.S. Senate.

I spent my morning with my sister, who is recovering from surgery related to her Stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis. In the only state with a growing cancer rate and the second highest rates in the country, I know far too many families in Iowa are also supporting loved ones through battles with cancer.

The best part about campaigning is getting to connect with voters across our great state. Iowans are ready for a new direction, and that means flipping this U.S. Senate seat.

Letter writer says Turek represents what's great about Council Bluffs "He’s got incredible grit and determination, he cares deeply about his community, and he understands what so many Iowans, and Americans, are experiencing right now, struggling just to get by."

I'm grateful for the support from former Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, who knows what it takes to win tough races.

What a night in Mason City! Thank you to everyone who came out, and the biggest thank you to my friend Nathan Sage for his support. I’m deeply honored to have him on the team, and we are ready to fight for Iowans.

Running for the U.S. Senate is tough – Iowa is a big state, and I’m putting in the long hours to get into as many communities and talk to as many voters as I can.

Luckily, I’m no stranger to hard work. It’s not easy training for the Paralympics! Hear about my Paralympic training schedule.

Ashley Hinson does not care about Iowa farmers and ranchers. At every opportunity, she fails to fight for our rural communities. When I am in the U.S. Senate, I will put Iowans first, not billionaires, party leaders, or multinational corporations.

Packed house and high energy last night with Southeast Dallas County Dems! I talked to folks who are more excited and invested in this election than ever before, because they know 2026 is going to be different. Iowa is ready to flip this seat.

Iowa farmers are hurting because of this chaotic tariff policy that Ashley Hinson continues to support. She continues prove that she’ll put corporate greed and party leadership above Iowans at every turn. Our farmers deserve better.

I represent the reddest seat won by a Democrat in 2024. I did it by dragging my wheelchair up stairs to have face to face conversations with Iowa voters. I’ll take that same commitment to Washington.

How is it β€œAmerica First” to quadruple the amount of beef imported into the U.S. from Argentina? The National Cattlemen's Beef Association has already sounded the alarm, but Ashley Hinson is once again failing to listen.
