Beto and Amy O’Rourke Visit to Iowa This Weekend *Updated
Trip follows major organizing push to triple staff and host first statewide Weekend of Action
DES MOINES, IOWA — Beto and Amy O’Rourke will make their first joint trip to Iowa this week from Friday, June 7 to Monday, June 10. This will be Beto’s fifth visit to the Hawkeye State as he grows his grassroots campaign in Iowa and across the United States. The four-day visit follows the announcement that the campaign nearly tripled the size of its Iowa team and now has 37 organizing staff in every region and 44 Iowa staff overall.
O’Rourke has already done 67 town halls and other events in 36 counties across Iowa — the most of any candidate in the field this cycle. He’s held town halls in small towns and big cities, policy roundtables, and house parties in a variety of areas across the state -- including counties that went for President Obama but flipped to President Trump, Democratic strongholds, and conservative rural Iowa.
Since launching his candidacy for President of the United States in March, O’Rourke has hosted 155 events with tens of thousands of Americans in 118 cities across 15 states and the District of Columbia. He has personally driven over 6,150 miles as his grassroots campaign has criss-crossed the United States answering more than 1,000 questions from voters.
