Des Moines, IA - Fresh off a commanding victory at last night's Iowa Senate debate and a new Des Moines Register poll that saw him surge 8 points in just two weeks, Bruce Braley was back on the road today in Northeast Iowa focusing on his policies that put Iowa families first. At stops with volunteers, grassroots organizers and members of the community in Waterloo, Independence and Manchester, Bruce continued to lay out his plans to break through the gridlock and fight for an economy that works for all Iowa families, not just the wealthiest few.
"I am running for U.S. Senate because I will fight for all of our state's families, not just special interest millionaires and billionaires," said Braley. "I am proud of my record of breaking through the gridlock and working with Republicans to deliver results for Iowa, and I'm happy to talk about that record. But Sen. Ernst doesn't seem to understand that sound bites have consequences, and while her policies protect corporations who ship Iowa jobs overseas and oil billionaires like the Koch brothers who oppose the job-creating Renewable Fuel Standard, they hurt Iowa families who rely on Social Security, government student loans, and the promise of fair pay for a hard day's work. While Ernst's policies only lead to more gridlock, I will work with anyone who has a good idea that puts Iowa's families first."
In stark contrast to Bruce's clear commitment to Iowa's middle class at last night's debate, Sen. Joni Ernst failed to hide her out-of-step plans to privatize Social Security, protect corporations that ship jobs overseas from paying their fair share in taxes, abolish federal student loans, and oppose a minimum wage increase that would give 300,000 Iowans a raise.
Bruce also talked about the importance of early voting, and encouraged all Iowans to vote early?either in person or by mail. More and more Iowans are voting early every election cycle, because it is the simplest and easiest way to make your voice heard.
