22 people have declared they're running for president in 2016. 17 Republicans and 5 Democrats. Of these 22 candidates, 4 of them are Southern Baptists. I'm a devoted Southern Baptists, so we need to get to know these 4 men.

Throughout our nation's history, there's been two Southern Baptist presidents: Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Warren Harding and Harry Truman were Northern Baptists. Most presidents have been Episcopalian.
