Arizona Senator to meet with voters at Iowa State Fair

PHOENIX — Freshman Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego is meeting with voters in Iowa to discuss the impacts of the "Republicans’ disastrous budget bill."

After media availability at 10 a.m. on Aug. 8, Gallego plans to travel to the Quad Cities for a town hall co-hosted by the Iowa Democrats Party and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

The Aug. 9 town hall will reportedly include Scott County Chair Kay Pence, State Sen. Mike Zimmer (D-DeWitt) and Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart.

"The new Republican budget law spells bad news for Iowans," his campaign release says. "The law will kick more than 100,000 Iowans off Medicaid and put hospitals and nursing homes at risk of closing. All the while, Iowans will see their energy costs go up all to fund tax breaks for billionaires."
