In his second week campaigning for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton returned to Iowa for three organizing events in support of Hillary for America. The events were held in Sioux City, Marshalltown, and Coralville. At each of the events, he spoke about the issues facing the country, including heath care, and how Hillary planned to work to fix it. He spoke about her experience and qualifications, and urged voters to support her in the upcoming caucus. He called her the best changemaker he’s ever known, and that is why her rivals fear her. He said, “The reason Republicans have been so hard on her for over a year now is they know that too. They’ve basically been screaming at all of us Democrats saying please nominate somebody else. We don’t want to run against her.” A video from the event in Marshalltown is below, and videos from the other events will be added when/if available.

Tomorrow, Bill will remain in Iowa where he is scheduled to host three more organizing events in Council Bluffs, Fort Dodge, and Des Moines. For all the latest, follow our revamped Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Clinton Hosts Town Halls in Iowa

635821735373498249-APTOPIX-DEM-2016-Clinton-lehrler-dmreg.com-4Yesterday, Hillary Rodham Clinton attended two town hall events in Iowa. The first was held in Coralville, where Clinton hosted an outdoor event on an unseasonably warm day. Clinton opened the event with remarks about several of her policy points including gun control. Clinton then answered a number of questions from those in attendance. She was asked about a variety of topics including the backlog at the Department of Veteran Affairs, tensions with China, and immigration. Clinton then went to Grinnell College in Grinnell. Clinton held a very similar event where, again, she proposed tougher gun regulations and taking the National Rifle Association. She said, “A majority of Americans and a majority of gun owners know we have to make the changes. What stands in the way? One of the most powerful lobbies in our country. The NRA, that intimidates and bullies legislators and governors into doing what they want. That must end.”

Videos from yesterday’s events will be posted when/if available.
