Amy Klobuchar to Make Major Policy Announcement, Embark on 20-County Heartland Tour, and Speak at State Fair Soapbox on August 7-10, 2019 **Updated
DES MOINES, IA — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar returns to Iowa on Wednesday for a major policy announcement. She will outline her bold, ambitious plans to help America’s family farmers and revitalize rural communities. As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Amy Klobuchar has been a leading voice for farmers and, as President, she will enact an optimistic economic agenda that bridges the rural-urban divide and ensures no community gets left behind.
Following that announcement, she will embark on a 20-county tour of the state, culminating in the Iowa State Fair where Klobuchar will speak at the Des Moines Register’s Political Soapbox and take in all the Fair has to offer.
Klobuchar will visit the following 20 counties during her Heartland Tour: Polk, Greene, Carroll, Buena Vista, Clay, Dickinson, Hamilton, Hardin, Marshall, Benton, Johnson, Iowa, Linn, Cedar, Jones, Clayton, Fayette, Bremer, Butler, and Cerro Gordo. At the conclusion of this visit, Klobuchar will have visited 46 of Iowa’s counties.
