Rob Sand Continues Connecting With Voters From All Parties on Day 1 of His 3-Day Town Hall Swing

Western Iowa Today: “[Sand] emphasized that the priority should be getting the state government back to focusing on what truly matters: improving Iowans’ bottom line.”

DES MOINES IA – Yesterday, Rob Sand was back on the road, making another six stops on his 100 Town Hall Tour, visiting Page, Fremont, Mills, Montgomery, Cass, and Adair counties. At each stop, Rob was able to connect directly with Iowans about his plans to move the state forward, hear some of their top concerns, and answer some of their questions about how to get to work fixing Iowa after ten years of one-party rule that has left the state and its residents worse-off.

The top priority for Rob is turning things around in Iowa and for Iowans, as Western Iowa Today reported: “the first step when things are headed in the wrong direction is to stop, and elect a Governor who’s willing to stand up to their party, do what’s right, and veto divisive culture war legislation.”
