In response to Josh Turek’s election to the U.S. Senate, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Josh Turek, the Iowa Democratic Party, and all of the organizers across the state who put in the work to flip this seat from red to blue. As an accomplished state representative and two-time Paralympic gold medalist for Team USA, Josh knows how to bring people together to put Iowa families first. In the Senate, he will be a champion who fights to lower costs, protect healthcare, end Republicans’ costly war that is driving up the price of fuel, put a stop to reckless tariffs that are hammering farmers and producers, invest in rural communities, and prioritize the concerns of working families.”
