Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek brings campaign to Davenport

Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek brought his "At the Buzzer" campaign to the Quad Cities on Saturday, when he met with vendors at the Freight House Farmers Market.

He told Our Quad Cities News that the cost of living and corruption are two of the biggest issues he's seeing across the state. Turek also said he believes the two issues are related, and says an end to the war in Iran could start bringing down costs.

"We've got to end these chaotic tariffs, because it's driving up the cost of groceries," he said. "It is leading to a decimation of markets and commodities and prices for farmers. We lead the nation in farm foreclosures. Now, you've got farm suicide rates skyrocketing. There's so much that we need to do. People are hurting, and struggling," he said. "They deserve to have someone who's going up to fight for them."

Turek says he wants to drive private equity out of housing and bring back ACA subsidies to help with health-care costs.
