Iowa Leaders to announce support for Clinton at Open Houses Across the State

Elected Officials, community leaders to lend their voices to support organizing efforts

Prominent Iowa community leaders and elected officials will announce their support for Hillary Clinton for President while they help build Hillary for Iowa’s grassroots organizing program at open houses over the next two weeks. The open houses will take place at Hillary for Iowa organizing offices around the state.

“Hillary Clinton is committed to earning the support of Iowans in next year’s caucuses and is thrilled to have these leaders working hard for her campaign,” said Hillary for Iowa State Director Matt Paul. “This campaign is built by Iowans and we welcome the support of everyone who wants to pitch in and help elect Hillary Clinton and build an America where all families can get ahead and stay ahead.”

Hillary for Iowa already has at least one committed supporter in each of Iowa’s 1,682 precincts. The campaign has 27 grassroots organizers and ten organizing offices across the state and our organizers have had more than 2,500 one-on-one meetings with Iowans about committing to caucus for Hillary next February.

The leaders supporting Clinton and headlining open houses across Iowa are: Former Iowa Democratic Party Chair and Lt. Governor Sally Pederson, former President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland Jill June, State Rep. Phyllis Thede (Davenport), State Rep. Timi Brown-Powers (Waterloo), State Senator Bill Dotzler (Waterloo), State Senator Jeff Danielson (Waterloo), former State Rep. Wes Whitead, State Rep. Abby Finkenauer (Dubuque), former State Senator Staci Appel, Cedar Rapids City Council Member Justin Shields, former Cedar Rapids Mayor Lee Clancey, former Iowa Democratic Party Chair and State Rep.
