Beto O’Rourke Family to Celebrate the 4th of July in Iowa
First O’Rourke Family Trip to the Hawkeye State
DES MOINES, IOWA — Beto O’Rourke will be joined by Amy, and their three children — Ulysses, Molly and Henry — on O’Rourke’s sixth trip to the Hawkeye State. The O’Rourke family will be participating in the Independence Day Parade in Independence, Iowa, and attending other events across the state.
The trip comes after Amy and Beto O’Rourke’s first trip together, which included a farm tour, Capital City Pride, a number of town halls, the Iowa Democratic Party Hall of Fame, and their first joint television interview. In the past month, the O’Rourke campaign has held two Iowa Statewide Weekends of Action and nearly tripled the size of its Iowa team, with 37 organizing staff in every region and 44 Iowa staff overall.
Since launching his bid for the White House, O’Rourke has held 83 Iowa events and town halls in 40 counties to meet with, listen to, and learn from Iowans in every corner of the state. O’Rourke has visited more Iowa counties than any other presidential candidate this cycle.
Additional information on the trip will be released in the coming days.
