President Trump Announces Endorsements from Faith Leaders in all of Iowa’s 99 Counties

January 05, 2024

Des Moines, IA Today, President Donald J. Trump proudly announced that he has received over 300 endorsements from faith leaders in all 99 counties in Iowa. This remarkable achievement demonstrates President Trump’s growing and unrivaled support from America’s incredible faith community.  

 

Americans of faith continue to appreciate President Trump’s unprecedented record of policy victories during his leadership in the White House.  President Trump nominated three Supreme Court Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, issued an executive order to protect and promote religious freedom around the world, and reaffirmed the Judeo-Christian values of our nation’s founding.  

 

Brad Schroeder, Senior Pastor, Harvest Church of Huxley in Story County, Iowa, stated, "The records of presidential candidates matter. During his time in office, President Trump delivered on his commitments to the faith community, fulfilling promises that other politicians have made for decades.  When he defeats Joe Biden in November, President Trump will once again restore biblical values to the White House, fight for religious freedom, protect America’s unborn, and support the family as the foundation of society.”
