Press Releases
VoteVets Enters Iowa Senate Race to Back Josh Turek in Major Senate Pickup Opportunity

Washington, DC. – Today, VoteVets is announcing that it is beginning an ad campaign in Iowa to help elect Joshua Turek to the U.S. Senate. The fully integrated paid media campaign, which will begin this week with an $825,000 ad buy, will run statewide on broadcast, cable, and satellite television as well as on digital platforms including streaming platforms, YouTube, digital audio, and on social media. It will help introduce Josh Turek as a fighter for working families to voters across Iowa.

The first ad in this media campaign, “Tough Times,” is launching tomorrow. It describes how Josh has been a fighter his whole life since being born with spina bifida due to his dad’s exposure to Agent Orange while serving our country in Vietnam. The ad describes Josh’s inspiring life story and how he is the leader Iowans need in these tough times. Josh won two gold medals for Team USA while representing our country four times as a paralympian. He knows how to win elections, having proven that he is a strong campaigner who can out-perform other Democrats and earn the support of Iowans of all political stripes.

“Josh Turek is a fighter who knows firsthand the costs military families experience when our sons and daughters are sent to war. It’s families like his that bear the costs of decisions made in Washington,” said VoteVets Senior Adviser Major General (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton. “Our nation needs Senators like Josh who will fight for veterans and military families like his – and who know how to win, which Josh does. He will be an advocate in the Senate for veterans and military families like his own, and take on whatever fight is necessary to protect hardworking Iowans. We are proud to stand with him.”
