This will be Harris’ fourth trip to Iowa since announcing her candidacy for president of the United States.
Throughout her visit, Harris will discuss her new proposal out this week to close the gender pay gap by holding corporations accountable for equal pay. Harris will also discuss her plan to give the average Iowa teacher a $12,200 raise by the end of her first term, her plans to combat climate change and to address the student debt crisis, among others.
