Grassroots Campaign for Governor Announces Additional Endorsements of Iowa Activists and Advocates
Des Moines, IA – Andy McGuire announced today additional endorsements from key Democratic activists and leaders across the state.
“When I listen to her speak, I feel passion, desire and a genuine concern for the people in our state,” said Dr. Frantz Winfield, a Waterloo minister. Dr. Winfield continued, “That's what we need in a Governor, someone with a strong heart who cares about the future of our state. I don't think that's what we are seeing right now from the current administration.”
“Andy has been crisscrossing the state from river to river talking about her vision for Iowa. Her message is resonating with voters in both rural and urban areas,” said former President of the Iowa Senate, Jack Kibbie. Kibbie continued, “Iowans want more than politics as usual.
