Tim Kaine Campaigns in Cedar Rapids

Tim Kaine campaigned in Iowa today speaking at a rally in Cedar Rapids. During his first speech in the state since being announced as Clinton’s running mate, Kaine referenced his ties to the mid-west. He said, “I grew up in Kansas City and part of my family on my mom’s side is from Fort Madison, so as a kid, I used to come to Iowa for family. And I have dear friends in Maquoketa and Charles City and Des Moines.” He spoke about Hillary Clinton’s economic plan and how the new jobs created would benefit Iowans. Kaine attacked Donald Trump for not releasing his tax returns calling him a tax dodger. He said that Clinton’s plans would ensure the wealthy pay their fair share and that everyone will have an equal opportunity to prosper in America. A video from the event is below.

Bill, Chelsea, Meier Campaign for Hillary

On Wednesday, a number of events in support of Hillary Clinton were held across the country. In the Midwest, Chelsea Clinton attended events in Kansas and Nebraska. She began the day by attending a Get Out the Vote event in Overland Park. During her speech, Chelsea spoke about her mother’s experience and her dedication to protecting women’s rights, voter rights, and LGBT rights. She also spoke about Hillary’s experience with compromise saying, “I do believe we fundamentally need a president who knows when to stand her ground, but also does know how to find common ground.” While in Overland Park, Chelsea also attended a fundraiser at the home of Jackie and Lynn Johnson.

Chelsea wrapped up the day at a Get Out the Caucus event in Omaha, Nebraska. During the event, she framed her mother as a political realist who knows how to stand up for what she believes in, but knows how to compromise. Her speech was similar to one that she gave earlier in the day in Overland Park, Kansas. Chelsea asked those in attendance for their support in the upcoming caucus on March 5.

Bill Clinton campaigned on behalf of Hillary in New York City. He attended three fundraisers beginning with an event hosted by Bal Das, Valérie Demont, and Seema Hingorani. The second event of the day was held at Brooklyn Bowl. The final event was held at the home of John Fitzpatrick. As with all private events, they were closed to the public.

In Texas, Hillary for America Director of Policy Outreach Ed Meier hosted a fundraiser in Austin. The event is part of a series hosted by Hillary for America covering a number of platform topics.
