"Mike will be an invaluable asset to our team, and I want to thank him for his trust and support," said Carly. "As a leader on agricultural issues and a small business owner with his wife, Mike knows that we need new leadership in the White House to unlock the potential of a lot of Iowans hurt by the policies and hypocrisy of this administration. I look forward to working with Mike to get our message out to Iowans."

"Iowans need a leader like Carly as our nominee—a true conservative who can take on Hillary Clinton in the general election and can do the job when she gets there," said Representative Mike Sexton. "I look forward to introducing Iowans to Carly over the next several months, and I'm confident they'll recognize her unique voice in this race."
