Candidates Head to Washington to Court Evangelical Activists

 

By Andrew Rafferty

A number of Republican presidential candidates will flock to Washington, D.C. over the next three days to court religious and conservative activists gathered for the Faith and Freedom Coalition.

The event is the latest in a series of GOP candidate confabs that have taken place in 2015. A number have already taken place in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. The most recent took place in Iowa earlier this month where current and potential candidates like Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Rick Perry and Ben Carson tried to woo Hawkeye State voters at Sen. Joni Ernst's "Roast and Ride."
