RNC Statement on Iowa Senate

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement on the Iowa Senate primary:


"Schumer Shill Josh Turek is a radical leftist and weak candidate who had to be rescued by D.C. Democrats just to win a primary against a nobody. He will get crushed at the ballot box by Ashley Hinson, who has proven she is a fighter for Iowa farmers and families.” 


Josh Turek has:

  • Demanded the largest tax hike in history

  • Called to defund border security 

  • Committed to taking away guns from law-abiding Iowans

  • Refused to ban sex change surgeries for minors.

  • Skipped a vote to fund veterans services, so he could attend a happy hour with lobbyists and D.C. Democrats
