Trump Campaign Announces Iowa Veterans for Trump Coalition

Trump Campaign Announces Iowa Veterans for Trump Coalition

DES MOINES, IA – The Trump-Pence Campaign today launched Iowa Veterans for Trump, a coalition comprised of over 160 former officers and enlisted service members from the Hawkeye State.   Three coalition members, veterans Harold Johnson, Bob Gleason, and Evan Hultman, spoke on behalf of Donald Trump's candidacy and his vision to keep America safe.

"We are proud today to join the more than 200 admirals, generals, and Medal of Honor recipients who have now publicly endorsed Mr. Trump to serve as Commander-in-Chief," said Iowa Veterans for Trump Honorary Chairman Colonel Harold Johnson.  "Donald Trump is committed to rebuilding our military so that it remains the finest fighting force on the planet."

A major theme of the press conference was the restoration of Ronald Reagan's strategy of "peace through strength," which helped end the Cold War.

"We will secure peace through strength," said Major General Evan "Curly" Hultman.  "That is the way that we accomplished it under President Reagan, and we are going to do it again under President Trump."

Others also took issue with the Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration's failed foreign policy.  Unlike the Clinton-Obama agenda, Korean War Veteran Bob Gleason said that "Donald Trump will not appease our enemies, and neither will I."

"Mr. Trump does not believe that you should forecast and tell the enemy, months in advance, what you're going to do and when you are going to do it," Gleason Continued. "It's beyond ridiculous."

The announcement of this new coalition comes just days after a Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll showed the Trump-Pence ticket up 43% to 39% versus Clinton in Iowa.

Background:

Colonel Harold Johnson is a veteran of the United States Air Force and currently serves as Honorary Chairman of Iowa Veterans for Trump.  One of Iowa's most decorated veterans, he spent six years as a prisoner of war in the "Hanoi Hilton" after being shot down over Vietnam.

Sergeant Bob Gleason is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps who served in the Korean War.  

Major General Evan “Curly” Hultman is a veteran of the United States Army who served in World War II.   He began his military career as a Private and finished as a battalion commander.  He is also the former Attorney General of Iowa.

New Hillary for America TV Ad "Nevadense"

New Ads Feature What's at Stake for Nevada DREAMer Astrid Silva and Millions of Immigrants

As Hillary Clinton returns to Las Vegas this afternoon, Hillary for America released two new Spanish language digital and TV ads, "Nevadense" (Nevadan), featuring Nevada DREAMer and activist Astrid Silva highlighting the high stakes millions of Latinos are facing in this election.

In the ad, Astrid describes how immigration has impacted her family, prompting her to become a voice for the millions of hardworking undocumented people living in this country. As Astrid explains, thanks to President Obama's executive actions, she is now able to work and live without fear of deportation. But this could change. As Donald J. Trump Jr. made abundantly clear during his last trip to Nevada, DREAMers like Astrid would be deported if his father becomes president.

"Nevadense" is a clear reminder of how Astrid's future - along with the 25,000 DREAMers residing in Nevada and the millions of immigrants across the country - is at stake in this election. While Hillary Clinton will keep families together and introduce comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship within her first 100 days in office, Donald Trump will create a "deportation force" to round up and deport 16 million people from this country, including Astrid. As she recounts, her future is in our hands--and that's why it's so important to vote this November.

WATCH: "Nevadense"

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Astrid: At 5:30 in the morning, while I slept, immigration took my dad when he was returning home from work.

My parents have a profound faith in this country.

So, I decided that I had to share my story and fight for reform.

To the point that when Donald Trump’s son came to Nevada, they asked him if I was at risk of deportation.

Donald Trump Jr. Interview: So it’s a possibility, yeah. His policy has been that.

Astrid: I'm Astrid Silva, Nevadan and one of 25,000 DREAMers in the state.

Today, I work legally thanks to President Obama and the DACA program.

But Trump’s plans couldn’t be more clear.

Mika Brzezinski: Are you going to have a massive deportation force?

Donald Trump: You’re going to have a deportation force

Astrid: As President, only Hillary Clinton will protect DREAMers and families like ours.

Talk with your loved ones.

Our future is in your hands, if you can vote, vote.

HRC: Soy Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.
