DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Iowa, New Hampshire State Legislators Blast Americans for Prosperity, Predict Voters Will Buck the Establishment in January and Support Ron DeSantis

Tallahassee, FL - Iowa and New Hampshire state legislators are blasting the pro-open border, pro-jail break Americans for Prosperity Action for effectively endorsing Donald Trump, pointing out that Nikki Haley has no path to victory and Ron DeSantis is the only conservative in the race that can beat Trump and Biden.

"It is sad to see an organization that exists to oppose cronyism, unrestrained spending, and endless wars pass up the opportunity to support such a clear and obvious champion of its own stated principles like Governor Ron DeSantis in favor of one with a very different record and rhetoric. I trust the engaged voters of Iowa and New Hampshire to make better choices." — New Hampshire House Majority Leader Jason Osborne (R-Auburn)

"This endorsement is just another data point for what the Washington establishment class has made clear all cycle: They do not want Ron DeSantis in the White House because he is a real conservative who they will not be able to control. The most important endorsement is not from some outside political group, but the voters." — New Hampshire State Representative James Spillane (R-Deerfield)

"Nikki Haley has no path to victory, but the Wall Street donor class, the establishment media, and DC political groups believe their endorsements and their money override the will of the people and are attempting to handpick a globalist hawk for the Republican nominee. This does nothing but boost Donald Trump and hurts our country's chances of electing someone who will truly turn this country around. Granite Staters will not be fooled by the DC ruling class and will vote for Ron DeSantis, the only true conservative, in January." — New Hampshire State Representative Erica Layon (R-Derry)

"Nikki Haley is not a true conservative, so it makes sense that a pro-open border, pro-jail break DC political group chose to support a pro-open border, pro-jail break DC candidate. The truth is Ron DeSantis is the only true conservative in this race and continued ignorance of this fact all but guarantees Donald Trump to be the nominee come January, but I am confident in Iowans who will see through this political nonsense." — Iowa House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl (R-Missouri Valley)

"The reality is there is no path to victory for Nikki Haley here in Iowa or in any other early primary state, and this endorsement only helps Donald Trump. Ron DeSantis is the only true conservative running in this race and if we hope to revive America, we need President DeSantis." — Iowa State Representative Jon Dunwell (R-Jasper)

"Iowans know better than to follow the will of the ruling class in Washington. Here in the Hawkeye State, we know there is only one candidate who has been doing the work and has the conservative record to prove he will follow through on securing the border, holding the Mexican drug cartels accountable, and getting this economy back on track: Ron DeSantis." — Iowa State Senator Jesse Green (R-Boone)

DeSantis boasts over 300 publicly announced endorsements from state legislators across the country, more than any candidate in the race.

In Iowa, DeSantis has eight times the number of endorsements from state legislators (41) than Nikki Haley, and twice as many as Donald Trump.
