The Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition (IFFC) announced today that Ted Cruz, U.S. Senator from Texas, will serve as the keynote speaker at the organization’s 26th Annual Spring Kickoff.
“We are honored to welcome Sen. Cruz,” said Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition. “His leadership and constitutional convictions have inspired conservatives across the country, and we are excited to hear directly from him.”
IFFC’s Spring Kickoff is one of the state’s premier gatherings for evangelical and conservative grassroots activists, drawing more than 700 attendees. The event figures to serve as a major organizing moment ahead of the 2026 election cycle.
The evening will also feature remarks from KC Crosbie, co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
“The upcoming midterms will play a pivotal role in shaping Iowa’s future and the direction of our nation,” Scheffler said. “Our Spring Kickoff brings together leaders and activists who are committed to defending faith, family, and freedom.”
