'Pagan' outreach, Wiccan prayer defense could haunt Dem in battleground race

Republican opponents are attacking Iowa Democratic candidate Sarah Trone Garriott for her past support of a Wiccan-led statehouse prayer, citing her 2015 op-ed defending the practice. Garriott, a Lutheran minister, faces criticism from GOP figures like RNC spokesman Zachary Kraft, who mock her religious views. The controversy stems from her advocacy for inclusive Christian values and her criticism of lawmakers who boycotted the pagan ritual.
