Dubuque County Democrats 2026 Candidates
Publicado por Sway
Josh Turek is a two-time Paralympic gold medalist for Team USA and a State Legislator who represents the reddest seat held by a Democrat in the state of Iowa. Born with spina bifida after his dad was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, Josh overcame 21 surgeries by the age of 12 to eventually represent the U.S. at four Paralympics.
After his basketball career ended with a gold medal in Tokyo in 2021, Josh ran to represent his hometown of Council Bluffs in the legislature. Running in a seat that Donald Trump had already won twice, Josh pushed his chair up hills and crawled up stairs to talk to Iowans of all political stripes, eventually winning by six votes. He was re-elected by a five-point margin at the same time Trump was winning the seat by eight points, not only because of his work ethic but because he’s developed a reputation as a common-sense, bipartisan legislator.

Senator Joni Ernst's retirement has opened up a seat in a state battered by destructive Republican policies from the state and federal governments, including tariffs. Democratic state representative and former Paralympian Josh Turek is running against Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, a strong Trump supporter. Turek is focused on addressing the real concerns of Iowans, who are poised to deliver big results for Democrats up and down the ballot.

My big takeaway, besides that I have met Josh and truly believe in him, is that the ads on tv are really misleading and disingenuous. I think Josh is a man of integrity. Ashley Hinson has lots of money from corporate lobbyists and doesn't have interest in her actual constituents. (fact checked)
Josh doesn't want to make it easier "illegal" immigrants and felons to be here like the ads say... He wants to make the pathway for legal immigration easier. (fact checked)
This stuff is polarizing but it doesn't need to be! I'd happily and calmly (of course) discuss this with anyone :)

The AI List: know your vote

Frames his campaign around 'billionaires and large corporations' and embraces local pause sentiment, but has not published a detailed data center platform. Limited on AI safety and regulation, moderate on data center opposition, moderate public voice on AI.

Make cities bike-able, yo

Josh Turek cycled the first day of RAGBRAI (legendary cycling race across Iowa)—with his hands. He fought against legislation in Iowa that would have banned bicycles on most of Iowa's roadways, and he's a advocate for disability rights who believes that our policy should make mobility a given and not a privilege.

State Representative and former Paralympian Josh Turek has spent his political career fighting for working families and advocating for disability rights. He wants a foreign policy prioritizing diplomacy over endless wars. “I want to make sure that we don’t end up in forever wars and forever conflicts as well…If we’re going to put our great men and women in harm’s way, we need to make sure that these conflicts have the approval of Congress.”
