John Delaney for President

Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season and that you are enjoying the blessing of friendship and family. April and I enjoyed Christmas with our four daughters and family but are now turning our full attention to Iowa. The Iowa caucuses are only 32 days away and I want to fill you in on our plans.

On January 3rd, April and I kick off our "From Montezuma to Tripoli" tour with an event in Tripoli, Iowa. From there our campaign bus (nicknamed "big blue") will make 40 stops across rural Iowa communities that no other campaign visit and end in Montezuma, Iowa on January 27th. Our only break will be a few trips to the Granite State of New Hampshire for some important events and town halls.

Our Iowa trip is themed around "sending a message" to the Democratic Party that our country needs a moderate, economic focused, problem solver to beat Trump and start getting Washington working again. The trip will highlight several important issues, including:

The Rural Economy: Creating jobs in rural America is one of the central challenges of our time, and we've invested the time and have the vision to do just that. As legendary Iowa journalist Chuck Offenburger said in his endorsement of me (Delaney is the Real Deal): "There's not been any other candidate who's come even close to Delaney in how he's worked Iowa in this election cycle." I'm committed to rural America and on this trip, I will be asking rural Iowa to caucus for me and send a message to the DNC that our party is not just about the coasts!

Healthcare: Pulitzer prize-winning Iowa journalists Art Cullen called my BetterCare healthcare plan "the best plan out there." On the debate stage, I was the first candidate to point out the flaws in the Medicare For All proposal and since then almost all the major candidates have followed my lead and backed away from proposals that eliminate private health insurance as an option. The problem is, most of them don't have a vision for universal healthcare which is what our country needs. I'm committed to building a common sense universal healthcare plan and I'm asking Iowans to caucus for me if that's what they think we need!

Jobs: Trump is going to run on the economy and while most of the other candidates are talking about impeachment, class warfare or upending the entire economic model of the United States, I will be talking about "jobs, jobs, jobs." My dad was a union electrician and he taught me the only political lesson I will ever need: "if you care about workers, vote for the Democrat." I want to get the Democratic Party back to that message. As the only candidate in the Iowa caucus who was a leader in business and served in Congress, I known how to create jobs with good pay. So I'm asking Iowans to caucus for me if they want the Democratic Party to be the party of jobs!

You have been an amazing supporter and a great friend to our campaign. But we need your help one last time.
