DES MOINES, IA – Last week, KCCI’s Chief Political Reporter Amanda Rooker joined Rob Sand on the road for another five stops of his annual 100 Town Hall Tour, including stops in Wright, Hancock, Humboldt, Hamilton, and Story counties. At each stop, Rob surveyed the room, identifying attendees from all different political backgrounds before leading the groups in singing America The Beautiful together.

Key quotes:

Rob Sand: “I’m asking to represent the state of Iowa, I should be willing to listen to the whole state of Iowa. That’s the difference between, I think, politics and public service, that’s what it is to be a governor for all.”
Town hall attendee: “He’s thinking outside the box.”
Sherri Eddy, Town hall attendee: “I think he has a new message, a more inclusive message.”
Leonard Goreham, Town hall attendee: “I’m kind of tired of the rhetoric and the same old same old coming out of Des Moines. It’s time for something different.”
Town hall attendee: “I’m a lifelong Iowan. I grew up in a small town in Iowa. And my question is: where have you been all my life?”
Trudy Anderson,Town hall attendee: “Too many times we end up at the last minute making decisions and not having the full picture. He’s getting out there to give everyone the full picture of where he’s standing. That’s what we need.”
