Mayor Pete Buttigieg to go on Three-Day, Bus Tour After Iowa Democrats Liberty and Justice Dinner *Updated
DES MOINES, IA –– After the Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty and Justice Celebration in Des Moines, Pete Buttigieg will kick off a three-day bus tour across northern Iowa. The bus will be open press and on-the-record –– Pete will ride the bus with credentialed media for several legs of the trip.
After events around the Liberty and Justice Celebration, the tour will start on Saturday, November 2 in Cedar Rapids after Representative Abby Finkenauer’s Fish Fry and make stops in Decorah, Waverly, Charles City, Mason City, Algona, and Spencer. The tour ends on November 4 in Spencer. Additional stops and logistics about the trip will be announced in the coming days.
This trip comes a month after Pete’s four-day bus tour across central and eastern Iowa where over 4,500 Iowans turned out in total to see him speak –– with over 1,000 in attendance at the Davenport stop alone.
The bus trip will be Pete’s seventeenth trip to Iowa this year. Each visit has demonstrated an undeniable enthusiasm for Pete’s campaign in Iowa. At the Polk County Steak Fry, Pete “seemed to generate the most raw enthusiasm from the crowd.” In July, Pete was the only candidate who received a standing ovation at the Progress Iowa Corn Feed. At the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding, Pete received “the loudest applause before, during and after he went on stage, and his visit to the State Fair was called “one of the most successful of the field.”
