Huckabee, who rode a burst of late momentum to win the 2008 Iowa caucuses, is endorsing three incumbent state representatives – Dwayne Alons, Chris Hagenow and Jason Schultz – for reelection, and adding his support to the reelection bids of Congressmen Steve King and Tom Latham.
Huckabee’s also backing a group of challengers, including Brenna Findley, a lawyer and former congressional aide running for attorney general, and state Sen. Brad Zaun, who’s running against Democratic Rep. Leonard Boswell. Rounding out Huckabee’s endorsement list are state Rep. and state Senate candidate Kent Sorenson and state House candidates Kim Pearson, Tom Shaw and Jane Hodoly…
In addition to his umbrella political action committee, HuckPAC, Huckabee has established state-based PACs in California and Florida. During the second fundraising quarter of 2010, Huckabee raised $258,000 and shelled out some $70,000 to candidates he endorsed. He backed a total of 52 candidates in 14 states between April and June.
