Carlin for U.S. Senate US Inactive

CARLIN FOR US SENATE

ad creative

Ad copy

Out-of-state money, Ukraine funding, and the CO2 pipeline—who really works for Iowa? Jim Carlin stands up for our families, veterans, the unborn, and farmers. Ashley Hinson? Too tied to DC and her donors. It’s time for a leader who fights for us. Vote Jim Carlin for US Senate in the Republican Primary. #IowaFirst #StandWithJim
