Harkin Points to Bruce Braley's Proven Record Supporting Iowa Students

Ames, IA - U.S. Senator Tom Harkin today rallied students at the Iowa State University to vote early on campus. In addition to highlighting the importance of voting early, Senator Harkin pointed to Bruce Braley's proven record of supporting higher education and Iowa's students.

"Voting early on campus is the easiest way for Iowa students to make their voice heard in this election," said Senator Harkin. "Bruce Braley is the clear choice for Iowa's students because he will work to expand opportunity for more Iowans to achieve a quality, affordable education. The opponent's ideas of abolishing the Department of Education and jeopardizing funding for education, is bad for Iowa's students and is bad for Iowa's middle class."

Iowa State University Students can vote early on campus, Monday-Friday from 9AM to 4PM at the Memorial Union Building. Additionally, students can vote early this Wednesday from 9:30AM to 3:30PM in Carver Hall and this Thursday from 9:30AM to 3:30PM at the Parks Library.

In Iowa:
  • 111,000 students receive Pell Grants.
  • 228,000 federal loans have been distributed to Iowa students.
  • Iowa State University:
  • 6,271 students received Pell Grants to attend Iowa State University
  • ISU graduates with student loan debt owed on average $24,300 in federal obligations

Iowans across the state can vote early in person from now until November 3, and can find their early voting location at vote.BruceBraley.com.
