Last night my dog Ranger died suddenly in my arms. He’d been sick since Monday, and we didn’t know what was causing it, we thought it was a stomach bug, but it was far worse than we thought. All I can say right now is RIP Ranger, you were a great dog, and a Man’s Best Friend.

Election Day is ONE WEEK away! In just 1 week, we’re going to win this election and Iowans will once again have a senator who will fight for Iowa and Iowans — not the billionaires and large corporations. My pledge is to fight for each and every one of you.

Swung by Beth and Joe’s farm in Dunlap this week to talk about how skyrocketing diesel prices from the war Ashley Hinson voted 7x to continue and chaotic tariffs she’s voted for 5x are impacting family farms like theirs. In the Senate, I will fight to end the forever wars and always have our farmers’ backs.

To #Iowa: Don't be fooled by Ashley Hinson. If you're a farmer struggling with agriculture @turek4iowa isn't the problem, nor CA, it's her and Trump. Her vote on tariffs and war in Iran is what's causing the problem, but as before, Hinson thinks you're too stupid to know that.
Josh, you could visit every family farm in the state, but it won’t change your liberal record on agriculture. You support California’s Prop 12 over Iowa pig farmers. You voted to let fake meat be labeled as real and served in Iowa schools. And you voted to let out-of-state activists target our farmers with frivolous lawsuits. You are just too liberal for Iowa agriculture.

Major #BreakingNews: In an upset win, incumbent President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins re-election against Senator Flávio Bolsonaro despite facing vulnerability. MAGA hoped he'd lose but they were wrong, and the world is rejecting them. nbcnews.com/world/brazil/bra…

To #Iowa: Don't take it from @joniernst, because as a reminder that she's the exact same woman who said that you're gonna die one day just to justify her #BigUglyBill vote. As I mention months earlier, Hinon is Joni Enrst 2.0, and you don't another Ernst, vote for @turek4iowa.
Take it from Senator @joniernst, Josh Turek is too liberal for Iowa!

Iowa, in just 11 days, we are going to win this race and make a generational change to our state and our country. And it’s going to be because of each and every one of you. If you've never knocked a door, now's the time. If you've never put up a sign, now's the time. Let’s get to work!

I know you've been spending a lot of time at Mar-a-Lago recently Joe, but we're pretty proud of our bikes here in Iowa.
Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

Says the party that pledges its allegiance to a convicted felon/rapist who thinks he's Jesus and wants to take control of the world. That's not even true, and every normal person in life is a creep to you people. Vote for @WillemsForIowa, #Iowa.
Creepy liberal @WillemsForIowa thinks the government should control everything—even breastfeeding. Reject Nate Willems. Vote @BrennaBird on or before November 3.

There is something special happening in Iowa. I see it everywhere I go. Together, we can win this race, change this state, and change this country. Not because of me, but because of all of you.

I am a living example of the American Dream. In no other country on earth could someone with my economic and healthcare background win gold medals, represent their community in the Iowa legislature, or certainly run for the U.S. Senate. Last night in Sioux City, I spoke about how I will always fight to ensure this American Dream continues for every single Iowan.
