Governor Terry Branstad is the first Republican office holder to speak to the crowd. “This is the first significant event of the Caucus season and you’re turnout tonight says you are very interested in making some change,” Branstad said. “…These people of faith & freedom that are here tonight are people who show up at Caucuses…so you’re talking to a great audience.”
Branstad briefly addressed the candidates, saying the crowd gathered tonight are people who “show up at Caucuses” so they’re valuable to a presidential campaign.
Branstad concluded with a call for prayers. “Governors across this country are making the tough decisions…Many governors are taking a lot of heat to do the right thing…so we ask you to continue to pray for all of our states and all of our country,” Branstad said.
