O'Malley Speaks to Local Democrats

WVIK Staff

Two of the three Democratic Presidential candidates shared the podium in Davenport  Saturday night. Hillary Clinton and Martin O'Malley spoke at a dinner sponsored by Scott County Democrats.

Former Maryland Governor O'Malley says this isn't the first time he's come to Iowa for the caucuses.
 
O'Malley says he worries less about foreign threats like ISIS than he does about "fascists" and "demagogues" here in the U.S.

If Trump wants to register Americans with different ideas, he'll have to start with me.

O'Malley admits it'll be tough for him to do well in the Iowa Caucuses against Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but he's taken on tough fights before as mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland, leading his state through a recession.  

Earlier in the day on Saturday, O’Malley campaigned in Maquoketa. On Sunday afternoon, he's scheduled to stop at IBEW Local 13 in Burlington.

I am currently a senior at Augustana College, majoring in Multimedia Journalism and Mass Communication with a minor in Creative Writing. I serve as the General Manager for WAUG.fm, Augustana's online student radio station and have worked as an intern and DJ at Studstill Media Group. I report on local news for WVIK and am honored and excited to be a part of the news team. I hope to pursue a career in radio broadcasting and an eventual master's degree in English or Communications.
