Dr. Ben Carson and Over 100 Iowa Faith Leaders Endorse President Donald J. Trump

October 29, 2023

President Donald J. Trump visited Sioux City, Iowa today where he was endorsed by Dr. Ben Carson and over 100 faith leaders from across the state.  The full list of faith leaders who have publicly endorsed President Trump is below.  

 

“As a Pastor, I appreciate what President Trump stood for when he was President; everything he did worked. If you had cancer and a doctor was able to help keep you cancer-free for ten years, and the cancer were to come back, you wouldn’t go find a new doctor. You’d use the one that saved your life. President Trump has proven he’s able to do what he says, so why would I try anyone else? Besides that, he's the only one who can't be bought off and he's proven that too.” – Pastor Dick Green 

 

“We are in a war, spiritually and politically, for the survival of our nation. I did not hesitate to endorse Donald J. Trump for President because he has proven that he has the resolve and the backbone needed to end the deep state and drain the swamp. This is why the globalists are terrified of him. I have to laugh when I hear other candidates claim to be the candidate that the left fears the most.” – Brad Sherman, Iowa State Representative and Pastor 

 

“I support President Trump because I know he will deliver. In this day of chaos and corruption, with RINOs rampant, we need someone we can trust. President Trump has proven what he can do. He is the most pro-life President we have ever had. We had no wars and America’s economy was thriving. We were drilling and using our own oil, and jobs were coming back to America. Our borders were controlled, and our enemies feared us. We need President Trump back and right away.” - Luana Stoltenberg, Iowa State Representative and Ministry Leader.
