You have entered the no-spin zone. We trust you too much to dress this up. It was a tough election season for TFL-supported candidates, and for our state and nation, but we gave it our all, and we live to fight another day. As John Quincy Adams said, “Duty is ours; results are God’s.”
Some good news: strong Iowa House candidates like Austin Stubbs, Matt Reisetter, and Matt Oleson won their races, and we held enough Iowa Senate and House seats to provide a critical check and balance against one-party rule, and against possible “progressive” Executive and Judicial branches. Those victories matter, and they give us a foundation to build on.
We are also ready to hold Governor Rob Sand to his own words. If a “better Iowa” truly means deeper faith and church engagement, then we expect to see that commitment reflected in his actions. Words are easy. Governing will reveal whether he means them. If he does mean them, we will gladly work with Governor Sand to break bondage in our communities and make Iowa a great place to raise a family.
The 2028 Presidential caucuses and the next round of elections will be here soon, and they will offer another clear opportunity for you and The FAMiLY Leader to present a vision rooted in faith, family, and freedom; to recruit godly candidates; and to work hard. God does not call us to despair. We lick our wounds, celebrate the wins God allowed, and prepare for tomorrow. The fight continues.
