ENDORSEMENTS

Jim Carlin for U.S. Senate

Senator Kevin Alons, R-District 7

“I’ve known Jim and Donna for a long time. He’s grounded in the Constitution. He’s grounded in his walk with Christ. His faith, I think, drives his convictions, (it) will drive him and it gives him that grounding that will make sure that when those challenges come and the questions come and you don’t know for sure what the right answer is, I know he’ll find the right answer.”

Senator Doug Campbell, R-District 30

“Voters of the great state of Iowa.

Not many times in your life will you get the chance the change and make history. This is an election cycle that will go down in history and for generations to come.

This is not an exaggeration. I am writing to support Jim Carlin’s run for the United States Senate.  Jim Carlin stepped up before our incumbent Senator stepped out.

Jim has vision for the future that no other candidate has demonstrated. I know Jim pretty well, he is a best friend and a mentor to me personally and in the political arena.

Jim is an attorney that understands the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Iowa.  Jim knows the will of the people through the Republican Party of Iowa’s Platform.

Jim has been an Iowa State Representative and an Iowa State Senator. He stepped down from these local positions to run to represent Iowa to the United States Senate.  

No one that I know has greater personal integrity and a stronger Christian witness. I do not hesitate or hold back to endorse the impeccable character and ability of Jim.”

Blessings,

Senator Doug Campbell
Iowa Senate District 30

Senator Sandy Salmon, R-District 29

“I am writing to give a strong endorsement for State Senator Jim Carlin in the upcoming U.S. Senate Primary race. 

As a nation we face new challenges that have cropped up just in the past few years, particularly to our constitutional rights as well as in domestic and foreign policy, that I believe require new leadership that will put America First. 

Jim Carlin is an outstanding choice for the new leader we need for the new challenges America faces. An Army veteran and plaintiff’s attorney, he is a freedom fighter, a people protector, a problem-solver, and a corruption destroyer. 

He believes in America, in our ideals of freedom, protection of individual rights, and limited government. Jim’s Christian faith is important to him and he wants his family, his children and grandchildren, to be able to enjoy the freedoms and the rights he has enjoyed by being blessed to live in America.

I served with Sen. Carlin when he was in the Iowa House and then we worked together on veterans’ issues when he was elected to the Iowa Senate and served as chair of the Senate Veterans Committee and I was chair of the House Veterans Committee. 

An out-of-the-box problem-solver, Sen. Carlin was the author of the veterans’ bill, now signed by the governor, that changed the investment strategy of the Veterans Trust Fund to help generate more funding for veterans’ services.

He led the fight in the Iowa Senate for taxpayer protection for seniors against property tax increases. 

He led the fight in the Iowa Senate against human trafficking with a proposal to investigate ways to combat this crime. 

He led the fight for protection for the right to life of the unborn in the Iowa Senate in 2018, being one of 4 senators that played a significant role to help bring the Heartbeat bill to the floor in the Iowa House. It became law and set off an avalanche of heartbeat bills across the states, building up the pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse Roe vs. Wade, which it did in 2022.

He led the fight in the Iowa Senate for medical freedom, your 4th Amendment constitutional rights, with a bill to prohibit vaccine mandates by employers, before the issue became a crisis in our state.

He led the fight in the Iowa Senate for the protection of children in our schools against the indoctrination and promotion of sexual orientation and gender identity confusion. Sen. Carlin would not have voted for the “Dis”-Respect for Marriage Act, which strengthened LGBT confusion as Sen. Ernst did.

He led the fight for school choice to provide families an alternative in education because he understood that each child is unique and that one size does not fit all.

He has fought alongside others in the Iowa legislature for our 1st Amendment freedom of religion and freedom of speech and for our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Sen. Carlin would not incentivize states to adopt red flag laws, as Sen. Ernst did. 

He led the fight in the Iowa House, which included standing up to leadership, to protect our 7th Amendment constitutional right to a jury trial.

I believe that we reached a watershed moment as a nation when Congress did not step up to investigate the numerous egregious irregularities in the 2020 election before certifying the results. Only about 10 senators supported an investigation and Sen. Ernst was not one of them. Sen. Carlin would have voted to investigate the 2020 election.

As a plaintiff’s attorney, Jim Carlin developed a nose to sniff out corruption and find out the truth. That is what we so desperately need in government.

And Jim has the heart to care for and protect people as well as the courage and strength to fight for them. 

I believe the time is now for a change in our U.S. Senator!

Let’s give President Trump a strong ally in the U.S. Senate!

Please join me in supporting Iowa State Senator Jim Carlin in the June 2nd, 2026 U.S. Senate primary election!”

Rep. Mark Cisneros, R-District 91

“I am proud to endorse Jim Carlin for public office. I’ve worked alongside him in grassroots activities, and I’ve seen firsthand his dedication to our community, his principled leadership and his unwavering commitment to conservative, Constitutional values. Jim understands the importance of listening to the people, stewarding our resources wisely and standing strong for our families. Jim will serve the people well. I know he will bring the same energy, integrity and vision he’s shown at the grassroots level into his service. Jim is a proven legislator and grassroots conservative who stands up for middle-class Iowans and challenges the Washington machine. We need a fighter, not a hand-picked insider. That’s why I fully support Carlin and encourage others to join me in standing with him.”

Rep. Samantha Fett, R-District 22

“My journey really began with Jim Carlin walking beside me the entire time and encouraging me. Leaders inspire others to do something that might seem hard or different or out of their comfort zone, and I think that’s what’s important to mention about Jim. We want them to do the right thing… Those are the leaders we crave. Those are the leaders we trust… it’s my duty to lift up someone like Jim Carlin for U.S. Senate, because he is that leader.”

“History makes it very clear that when people of faith and courage dedicate themselves to freedom and pledge their lives and their fortunes to that cause, nothing can stop them… The left cannot stop us. The media cannot stop us, and they won’t be able to stop Jim Carlin from winning this seat.”
