Very powerful endorsement!
AMES, Iowa – Senator Rand Paul brought his signature message of limited government and individual liberty to Ames on Monday night, packing Torrent Brewing Company for a town hall with Iowa Republican gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn and offering his official endorsement.
The crowd was so large that organizers had to open an overflow space, turning the event into a standing-room-only show of enthusiasm just a week before Election Day. Paul introduced Lahn as “your next governor,” and voiced clear confidence in the race, questioning recent polls that show Lahn trailing Democrat Rob Sand, and pointing instead to strong early Republican voting numbers across the state.
For Lahn, the appearance made a high-profile boost from one of the Senate’s most consistent constitutional conservatives, as he pushes a platform centered on food freedom, protecting family farms, and putting Iowa first.
Paul used the moment to explain the importance of electing leaders who will defend personal freedom and push back against overreach, which are themes that align closely with Lahn’s own message. Paul also stated that Lahn was the only candidate he wanted to campaign for, this cycle.
Lahn told the packed house that the turnout itself was proof of a real movement, and stressed the need for every supporter to get out and vote. With Paul standing beside him in Ames, Lahn received a powerful late endorsement from a national figure known for backing candidates who put principle over politics.
The overflowing crowd and Paul’s enthusiastic endorsement sent a clear message that Lahn’s campaign is set to finish strong in November.
