Beto O’Rourke Returns to Iowa for LJC & Four-Day Tour Highlighting Momentum in Hawkeye State
DES MOINES, IOWA — Beto O’Rourke will return to Iowa this week for the Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty and Justice Celebration and follow it up with a four-day tour highlighting the campaign’s momentum across the Hawkeye State. Beto’s four-day tour will take him across central and eastern Iowa to highlight his vision for the country.
On his last trip, Beto hosted a packed town hall at Cornell College, his first visit to the campus. On Thursday morning he hosted a roundtable discussion with the Iowa Harm Reduction Coalition (IHRC) about his new opioids policy. He got a standing ovation at LULAC’s Presidential Town Hall, the first-ever gathering of hundreds of Latino caucus-goers. On Friday morning, he held an assembly at North High School in Des Moines, one of the most diverse high schools in Des Moines Public Schools.
As the vast majority of Iowans remain undecided on who to support in the upcoming Caucuses, Beto remains well-positioned to surge this fall, including in next week’s Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty and Justice Celebration. Beto has been shown to have support with Latino caucus-goers and students, with one recent article spotlighting his support among young Latinos.
