Hi Friend,

We hope you had a blessed Christmas from the Never Back Down Team! With less than 20 days until the Iowa Caucus, now is the time to buckle down and channel all our efforts to ensure a Gov. DeSantis victory on caucus night.

• We know he is the only principled, true conservative, and proven leader. We now need to get him across the finish line by going out to vote in the early states and getting our friends to come with us! 

We are excited to have First Lady Casey DeSantis campaigning solo once again in Iowa this week. The First Lady will be traveling with Never Back Down to several cities in Central and Western Iowa over the next few days to meet with Iowans, spread the word of Gov. DeSantis’ conservative wins in Florida, and urge Iowans to caucus for Ron on January 15.  

Gov. DeSantis will be back in New Hampshire this weekend to visit with Granite Staters. Details are below. Come out and hear from Gov. DeSantis on his plan to win and deliver results for the people! 

Coming up: We would love for you to join us, Gov. DeSantis, and Iowa Gov. Reynolds on New Years Eve in Iowa! Details are below. 

Days until the Iowa Caucus: 17

Days until the New Hampshire Primary: 25

NBC: Ron DeSantis' big bet on door-knocking put to the test in Iowa

"A key group backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential bid bet at the outset of his campaign that the path to the nomination ran through literally out-knocking the competition on his behalf. So it did. In early-voting states, the super PAC Never Back Down blanketed the ground with canvassers who knocked on hundreds of thousands of doors again and again (and in some cases, again and again after that), hoping to spread DeSantis’ message and better introduce him to the electorate. Never Back Down, which runs much of DeSantis’ ground game, planned to spend $100 million carrying it out, and it invited reporters inside its door-knocking boot camp in Iowa. The group says it has hit 812,000 homes in Iowa — more than half of the total number of households in the state. A similar share was hit in South Carolina, where the group says it knocked on more than 968,000 doors. In New Hampshire, another 385,000."

Florida Politics: After Christmas, Ron DeSantis resumes campaigning in Iowa, New Hampshire

"Christmas is over and the stretch run to January presidential nominating contests has begun for Ron DeSantis. Starting on Thursday, the Republican candidate is back on the road in Iowa for two days, followed by a trip to New Hampshire Saturday for various events. The morning event Thursday, a “parental rights roundtable,” is set for Ankeny sometime after 10:00 a.m. Central Time. The Governor will host that one by himself, but will be joined by special guests at subsequent stops."

The Hill: DeSantis knocks Haley over Civil War remarks: ‘Incomprehensible word salad’

"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) went after fellow GOP candidate Nikki Haley on Thursday over her remarks failing to acknowledge slavery as the cause of the Civil War. The Florida governor told reporters in Iowa that Haley’s explanation for the Civil War was “incomprehensible word salad” and called her “not a candidate that’s ready for prime time.” Haley’s comments came at a Wednesday event in New Hampshire, where she responded to a voter asking her thoughts on the cause of the Civil War. She answered that the war was about “the freedoms of what people could and couldn’t do.” When specifically confronted by the voter about slavery, she responded, “What do you want me to say about slavery?” DeSantis framed the episode as an example of how Haley isn’t ready to be president."

TEXT RON TO 94398

Governor Ron DeSantis has never backed down from a tough fight. He’s a native Floridian with blue-collar roots, played baseball at Yale, and graduated with honors from Harvard Law School. He served in the Navy as a JAG officer in Iraq, worked as a federal prosecutor, and worked in the halls of Congress. As governor, he has kept Florida free, taken on woke corporations, and stood up to the liberal media.

Will you join us in supporting Ron DeSantis for president now? He’s the freedom fighter that America needs.
