Democratic candidate Josh Turek cycles 60 miles to highlight Iowa Senate bid

State Representative Josh Turek is the Democratic candidate aiming to flip Iowa’s open Senate seat. To draw attention, he participated in a biking event that spanned nearly 60 miles. During the ride, Turek cycled with his hands, a stunt that highlighted his campaign message. The event linked two Iowa cities, showcasing the physical distance he is willing to cover. Turek’s effort underscores the uphill nature of his Senate bid in a traditionally Republican state. The hand‑cycling display attracted media coverage and local spectators.
