Senator Grassley uses his role in the Senate to bolster our nation’s global standing, defend democracy and religious freedoms and advocate for Iowans’ interests on the world stage. 

Grassley is a firm believer in Peace Through Strength. He has pushed administrations of both political parties to fortify our nation’s strategic partnerships and stand up to adversaries. Today, he’s leading the call to stand with Israel, defend Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s Soviet-style invasion and push back against Chinese aggression.   

Grassley is a stalwart defender of religious freedom around the globe. From advocating for Soviet Jews’ rights in the 1980s, to speaking out against religious persecution in China and Russian-occupied Ukraine, his work to end religious persecution spans decades.
