Brownback Pleased with Strong Showing in Ames
AMES, Iowa – U.S. Senator Sam Brownback, Republican candidate for president, today spoke to supporters at the conclusion of the Ames Straw Poll.
"Today we leave Ames with a ticket to the Iowa caucuses," said Brownback. "Given that we were outspent by more than 10 to 1 and faced a multi-million dollar advertising blitz, we built a great foundation as we head into the caucuses."
The Brownback campaign received 2,192 votes and spent approximately $325,000 on the Straw Poll.
