Josh Turek is just too liberal for Iowa.

He voted to take your tax dollars and give welfare benefits to illegal immigrants.
He voted to let kids secretly change their gender at school without telling their parents.
He voted to make it easier to raise taxes on working families…
Josh Turek is a liberal cosplaying as a moderate.

His actual record?
Giving taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants.
Letting kids secretly change their gender at school without parental consent.
Raising taxes on Iowa families and seniors.
