Casey DeSantis knocks on three millionth door for pro-DeSantis super PAC
The first lady of Florida traded in the sun from her home state for the snow in Iowa to stump for her husband and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.
Casey DeSantis went door knocking with pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down in Clive. She marked a significant milestone for the group Tuesday afternoon.
"This will be our three millionth door in the early states, and it'll be nearly a million doors in Iowa alone," DeSantis said.
DeSantis met with supporters of her husband in Clive and thanked them for their support. She encouraged them to show up on caucus night and support the Florida governor.
"No matter the weather, you got to show up, you got to make your case, you got to get to the doors," DeSantis said.

She wasn't the only one knocking on doors in the snow for the governor Tuesday. Other volunteers also braved the winter weather to talk with voters about the White House hopeful.
Whitney Lajaunie, the state field director for Never Back Down, said they've had team members in the Hawkeye State since May. She said thousands of volunteers and hundreds of paid canvasses have knocked on doors in all 99 counties.
"It's been tough sometimes reaching those rural homes, but we make it work and our canvassers are very motivated to do so," Lajaunie said.
She said talking to voters, even in the wind, snow and rain, will make all the difference on Jan. 15.
"Being able to connect with voters on a personal level...there's nothing else like it," she said.
