An update from our Iowa team.
Hey there,
There’s something special happening in Iowa.
In the last three weeks, Pete has held over 50 town halls across the state.
We’ve visited 27 of the 31 Iowa counties that flipped from Obama to Trump in 2016. At 20 of those town halls, Pete has drawn the largest crowds out of any Democratic candidate this cycle.
Over 5,500 Iowans have attended a caucus training hosted by our campaign -- including over 1,400 Iowans in those Obama to Trump “pivot” counties.
We have huge momentum on the ground in Iowa and we’re pouring all our resources into winning on Monday. If you can, please make a donation right now so we can sprint through the finish line and win in New Hampshire just eight days later.

Tuesday
Pete drew a crowd of nearly 175 people in Osceola -- a town in Clarke County. In 2016, an estimated 316 Democrats caucused in total across the entire county. Clarke County voted twice for Obama but made a 29.5 point swing from Obama to Trump.

Yesterday
Pete traveled all across the state to hold town halls. He talked to nearly 2,000 Iowans.
Pete drew a crowd of 315 in Clinton County -- the largest crowd any candidate has built there. It's in a county that flipped from Obama to Trump by 31 points in 2016. Pete earned the endorsement of State Representative Phyllis Thede who is a five-term representative and member of Iowa’s Legislative Black Caucus.
Pete also earned the endorsement of Bill Jackson, who is a lifelong Republican who served in the administrations of former Governors Robert Ray and Terry Branstad. Volunteers launched their own canvasses from more than 80 locations across the state and knocked on doors in nearly 70 counties.
Pete for America kicked off its GOTC weekend that will include over 70 surrogate events leading into the caucuses over the next three days, including canvass kickoffs with Mayor Quentin Hart, Congressman Dave Loebsack, Congressman Anthony Brown, and more.

Today
Pete held five town halls, bringing his message of unity and his vision for the next generation to Iowans across the state.

Over the last half-century, every time we’ve won the White House, it's been with a candidate who is focused on the future -- one who hadn't been in Washington very long, if at all, and was opening the door to a new generation of leadership.
