DSCC Statement Congratulating Senator-Elect Turek

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement congratulating Senator-Elect Josh Turek, the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Iowa in nearly 20 years:

“Congratulations to Senator-Elect Turek on his hard-fought, historic victory, becoming the first Democrat to win an Iowa U.S. Senate seat in nearly two decades. Josh is a bipartisan fighter with grit and compassion, and we look forward to working together to lower costs and fight for Iowa’s farmers, workers, and families. A two-time Paralympic gold medalist from Council Bluffs, Josh built a reputation in the state legislature for working to get things done for Iowans, and he has never backed down from a challenge. He won this race by showing up in every corner of Iowa, and his inspiring story of overcoming adversity resonated with voters across his state.”
