Turek Surpasses Hinson in Fundraising | Des Moines News

For the first time this election cycle, Democratic Senate candidate Josh Turek has outpaced Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson in quarterly fundraising, pulling in $2.8 million compared to her $2 million from mid-May to June — his strongest haul yet. Though Hinson still leads in cash reserves with $6.7 million to Turek’s $2.3 million, both spent similar amounts. The race is heating up with massive outside spending: a Democratic PAC has dumped over $10 million for Turek, while a GOP super PAC pledged $29 million for Hinson. Turek’s campaign credits a surge of 68,000 small donations to voter frustration with out-of-touch politicians, while Hinson’s team touts broad statewide support and frames the race as a defense against liberal outsiders. Libertarian Thomas Laehn trails with just $11,000 raised — underscoring how critical money will be as the election intensifies.
