Iowa (RI) — US House Speaker Mike Johnson says Iowa is at the center of the battle to maintain Republican control of the US House.
A super PAC that backed Republicans running for US House seats plans to spend at least 11 MILLION dollars helping Iowa candidates in 2026 — and during his latest trip to Iowa, Johnson held private events for Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks as well as Chris McGowan, the Republican running in Iowa’s 4th congressional district, and Joe Mitchell, the GOP candidate in the 2nd district. Johnson capped his two-day swing with a speech at a forum organized by the Christian conservative group The Family Leader.
Johnson uses the phrase “avowed communists” to describe candidates who identify themselves as Democratic Socialists, and Johnson says they’d do dangerous things if elected.
Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, who is running for Iowa’s open US Senate seat, told the crowd there are people in Washington, D.C. who want to erase the Christian values that have shaped the United States.
Zach Lahn, the Republican Party’s candidate for governor, and outgoing GOP Governor Kim Reynolds also addressed the crowd and talked about their Christian faith.
