Support for President Trump in the Faith Community Continues Surging; Over 200 Iowa Faith Leaders Have Now Endorsed

December 05, 2023

Des Moines, IA Today, President Donald J. Trump announced another significant milestone in organizing over 200 Iowa faith leaders to endorse and support his campaign. The Trump campaign in Iowa has more than doubled the number of faith leaders in its grassroots coalition in just 37 days since announcing the support of its first 100 Iowa faith leaders.  

 

The rapidly expanding support in Iowa's faith community underscores President Trump's strong support from community leaders and voters who prioritize faith and family values when selecting their leaders. The Trump campaign continues to build strong momentum as it enters the final stretch before the Iowa Caucus. 

 

President Trump's record of delivering policy victories for voters of faith is unmatched, highlighted by his successful nomination of three Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. President Trump also reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy to prevent American taxpayer money from being spent on funding abortion globally and sent a powerful message that Life matters when he became the first and only President ever to attend the March for Life.  

 

"At the end of the day, results are what matter," said Pastor Barney Bornhoft of Boone, Iowa. "President delivered on his commitments to people of faith in America, and his track record demonstrates clearly that faith and family values, religious freedom, and moral clarity will again be cornerstones of his leadership. President Trump is the leader that Christians and all people of faith need now, more than ever."
