We’re not even a full year into Donald Trump’s second term, and yet the race to replace him in 2028 is already kicking off — and it’s starting right here in Iowa.
According to Axios, a growing list of GOP contenders is already making moves here, hoping to win over Iowa’s base of grassroots conservatives and Second Amendment warriors like you.
👉 Senator Ted Cruz is coming to headline a pro-gun event.
👉 Governor Glenn Youngkin just appeared at the Lincoln Dinner.
👉 Names like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Mike Pompeo are all rumored to be circling.
The era of Trump will go down in history as a major turning point in the battle for American freedom — but the fight doesn’t end there.
Because of the way Iowa politics works, we at Iowa Gun Owners need to start thinking ahead — now.
We know what happens every four years:
- Candidates flood into Iowa begging for votes.
- They make vague promises about defending gun rights.
- They pose for photos at gun shops and gun ranges.
- Then many of them sell us out in D.C.
That’s not going to fly in 2028.
That’s why IGO will be launching a multi-phase program to survey, expose, and pressure every single presidential candidate who wants to campaign in Iowa.
We will:
✅ Issue detailed gun rights surveys to every declared or rumored GOP candidate.
✅ Publicly expose candidates who refuse to answer or try to dodge their record.
✅ Run digital, text, and email alerts to warn gun owners about fakes and frauds.
✅ Make sure you know exactly who’s pro-gun and who’s playing games.
But we can’t do this without your help.
This is going to be a massive effort, and it starts now — not two years from now when the media decides it’s officially campaign season.
If you want Iowa Gun Owners to lead the charge and hold the line in 2028 like we’ve done in the past, please consider making a donation today.

Gun owners are the most important voting bloc in Iowa — and I can promise you this: whoever wins the support of gun owners here will shape the future of the Republican Party.
Let’s make sure they earn it.
For Iowa,
Aaron Dorr
Chairman
Iowa Gun Owners
P.S. The 2028 campaign for President is already underway in Iowa. Cruz, Youngkin, and others are lining up — but IGO is preparing to put them on record and expose the phonies before they lie their way into office.
