CEDAR RAPIDS - The grassroots support for City Councilwoman Moncia Vernon's congressional campaign continues to grow. Vernon reports raising almost 90% of her contributions from Iowans, with over 1,000 contributions in just the first three months of the year.
The campaign has raised over $300,000 since kicking off in January and has landed critical endorsements from Teamsters Local 238, EMILY's List, one of the nation's most powerful political organizations, and over twenty local Iowa Democratic leaders including President of the Senate Pam Jochum and Senators Liz Mathis, Rob Hogg and Bill Dotzler.
"As we continue to build this grassroots campaign, I am proud to receive support from across Iowa, and honored to receive the endorsement of EMILY's List, a driving force for change across the country. This endorsement means so much," said Vernon. "Every day I talk with Iowans who want fundamental change in Washington - a Congress that works for the middle class, not the special interests. There is no more important conversation we can have, and I'm excited about the strong grassroots campaign we're building here to change the priorities in Washington and put Iowa families first."
