Lena Dunham to Campaign in Des Moines and Iowa City, Iowa for Hillary Clinton on Saturday January 9, 2016

Lena Dunham to Campaign in Des Moines and Iowa City, Iowa for Hillary Clinton on Saturday January 9, 2016

On January 9, actress  and screenwriter Lena Dunham will campaign for Hillary Clinton in Iowa City and Des Moines. At events with Iowa caucus goers, Dunham will discuss Hillary Clinton’s record of fighting for women and girls, and her plans to create an economy that works for everyone.

Clinton is committed to standing up to Republicans who try to defund Planned Parenthood and she’ll fight to make sure that every woman’s right to make decisions about her health care is protected. When it comes to achieving equal pay and closing the wage gap, making women safe from sexual violence or making college more affordable, Iowans can count on Clinton to take on the tough fights when she is President.

Dr. Ben Carson Announces Campaign Changes

Dr. Ben Carson Announces Campaign Changes

Today Carson for President announced enhancements, which will shift the campaign into a higher gear, bringing the unique qualifications of Dr. Ben Carson into even better focus for the American people.
Major General Bob Dees, U.S. Army, Retired, will provide overarching leadership to our talented and growing team as campaign chairman.

Ed Brookover who formerly served as senior strategist will serve as campaign manager.

From Dr. Carson:

"As we enter a new phase of the campaign cycle, it is necessary to invigorate my campaign with a strategy that more aggressively shares my vision and world-view with the American people. I commend Barry Bennett and Doug Watts for their efforts to help me share my vision for America."

"Over a year ago, hundreds of thousands of Americans encouraged me to listen to the call and seek the office of president of the greatest nation the world has ever known.  I am ready to be president and believe that my unique experience and background is what is needed to heal, inspire and revive America."

Carson for President is fired up about the New Year, recognizing that these positive changes will create even greater effectiveness on behalf of Dr. Carson.  While many candidates have fans, Dr. Carson has true believers across America and the world.  We are encouraged that Americans will soon refocus on Dr. Ben Carson as the candidate with unequaled character, integrity, courage, coolness under fire, and common sense solutions to address the great challenges America faces.
