Gillibrand Mississippi River Tour

Gillibrand 2020

The next Democratic presidential candidate to visit Iowa will be Kirsten Gillibrand. The US Senator from New York will make six stops in the state Tuesday and Wednesday, including several along the Mississippi River.

She'll start in Dubuque Tuesday afternoon with a 1:30 appearance at the Inspire Cafe, followed by a meet-and-greet with local Democrats Tuesday night in downtown Davenport at 6:30 at The Barrel House.  

Senator Gillibrand's river tour resumes Wednesday with a 10 am event in Muscatine at the Red Berry Cafe, then she'll travel down river to Burlington at 12:45 at the Bent River Brewery. 

Her visit to Iowa concludes with a meet-and-greet in Ottumwa followed by a town hall meeting in Des Moines Wednesday night. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
