SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Former State Senator Jim Carlin’s campaign for U.S. Senate continues to build strong support among Iowans, fueled by endorsements from grassroots leaders like Iowa state Representative Mark Cisneros, who praise Carlin’s unwavering commitment to conservative principles and Constitutional values.
Cisneros has joined a growing pool of Iowa conservatives including Senator Kevin Alons, Senator Doug Campbell, Senator Sandy Salmon and State Rep. Samantha Fett, who have chosen Carlin as their choice to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
Meanwhile, critics of Carlin’s opponent, Rep. Ashley Hinson, have begun openly criticizing her alignment with swampy Washington, D.C. insiders, raising significant concerns about her ties to the establishment.
“I am proud to endorse Jim Carlin for public office,” said Rep. Mark Cisneros. “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.”
Cisneros, a respected voice in Iowa’s conservative movement, emphasized Carlin’s integrity and independence.
“Jim will serve the people well,” Cisneros said. “I know he will bring the same energy, integrity and vision he’s shown at the grassroots level into his service.”
Carlin’s campaign is resonating with voters seeking a candidate who prioritizes Iowa over D.C. special interests. Unlike Hinson, whose voting record is abysmal, often aligns with her Democrat colleagues and who controversially voted to codify gay marriage—diverging from the conservative base—Carlin has a proven history of challenging insiders and taking bold, principled stands.
“Jim is a proven legislator and grassroots conservative who stands up for middle-class Iowans and challenges the Washington machine,” Cisneros added. “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.”
As Carlin’s momentum grows, Iowans are rallying behind a candidate they see as a true advocate for their values, unswayed by the D.C. swamp.
