"Casey DeSantis Empowers Conservative Moms in Iowa, Launches National 'Mamas for DeSantis' Group"

Casey DeSantis, wife of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, launched "Mamas for DeSantis" in Iowa, a grassroots campaign aimed at rallying support for her husband's presidential bid. The event focused on parental rights policies and mobilizing mothers and grandmothers to protect the innocence of children and the rights of parents. The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a GOP fervor for parental rights, with conservative parents running for school boards and advocating for the removal of inappropriate school books and policies accommodating transgender students. Republican leaders, including Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, have championed parental choice as a game-changer. Casey DeSantis' campaign effort gained over 1 million followers ahead of the 2022 election, and she believes that mothers and grandmothers will be the game-changers in the upcoming election.
