Two-day tour will include stops in Waterloo, Dubuque and Clinton
DES MOINES - This week, June 26-27, Vice President Biden will travel to Eastern Iowa on the Strengthening the Middle Class Tour to highlight President Obama's ongoing efforts to grow Iowa's rural economy and bolster middle-class security for Iowa's workers. The two-day tour will include stops in Waterloo, Dubuque and Clinton, Iowa.
In remarks during the tour, the Vice President will discuss how President Obama is helping create an economy built to last - one focused on reclaiming the security of the rural middle class and restoring the basic values of hard work and fair play that made our country great. Under President Obama, Iowa's economy is improving and benefiting from record national farm incomes and exports, with nearly 20,000 additional manufacturing jobs created and a growing renewable energy sector.
Vice President Biden will also lay out the clear economic choice in this election--between the President's vision for moving our country forward, ensuring an economy built to last and economic security for the middle class, and Mitt Romney's vision, which would take us back to the same failed economic policies that brought on the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Additional details are forthcoming.
