27 counties. 4 days.

COUNTY 1 on our #ForAllOfAmerica bus tour: Henry County, Iowa! Sharing my message from last night’s debate: what unites us is far stronger than what divides us and we must beat Donald Trump in 2020. Image
COUNTY 2: In 2012, Jefferson County voted for President Obama to serve a second term.

In 2016, they flipped and voted for Donald Trump.

I'm here today making my case in 2020: we can and will win in rural America. #ForAllofAmerica Image
COUNTIES 3 & 4: Van Buren & Davis. Stopped at Misty’s for a malt and then Sidelines Grill. People here know that it’s time to bring this country together. That’s what I’ll do: unite our country with an optimistic economic agenda and beat Donald Trump. #ForAllofAmerica ImageImage
COUNTY 5: Ended the day in Centerville, Iowa! Let’s see...Last 24 hours: debate, post-debate, 4 a.m. wake up for morning interviews & now we’ve taken our green bus to 5 Iowa counties. Good place to get some sleep! (And thanks everyone we raised $1 million online at same time)! Image
COUNTY 6: Started our morning in Wayne County, Iowa where I met Joanne. I learned we both had similar experiences with our 4th grade teachers: they told us to “speak up.” It’s all about finding your voice, & I told Joanne I hope to see her in Washington one day. #ForAllOfAmerica Image

So John and I went off the grid on our own at the Minnesota State Fair on a long Sunday afternoon journey in search of our friends' blue ribbon salsa 🍅🏆 and saw some really cool stuff along the way…
Image
Image
At first we thought it was in the horticulture 🪴🍎🐝 building so we asked some U of M master gardeners 🌸 and somehow ended up surrounded by the state's biggest pumpkins but no salsa...
Image
Image
Then a Christmas tree 🌲 decorated with all state fair ornaments…out of season but still! Image

Yesterday on the Senate floor, I told the story of an #ImmigrantHealthHero on the frontlines treating COVID-19 patients at Mayo Clinic. While she's saving lives, she's worried she won't be able to stay here to do her work while filling out paperwork to prove she’s “worth keeping"
President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” These doctors are choosing service over fear. Saving lives, saving someone’s grandma is more important to them than fear.
That’s why I’m leading efforts to reauthorize the Conrad 30 Program which allows foreign doctors trained in the U.S. to work in underserved areas and keep doing their heroic service for our country during this pandemic.

COUNTY 7: Decatur! In Lamoni, Iowa (population: 2,300). We’re 43 days away from the Iowa caucus & people are showing up because they know what it’s going to take to #WinBig: we need to bring people with us, go everywhere & leave no one behind. #ForAllofAmerica Image
COUNTY 8: Thanks Sarah & Steve, Clarke County Dems Co-Chairs & everyone who came to Osceola, IA today to talk about infrastructure, affordable housing and so much more. From big cities to small towns, people want an optimistic economic agenda and an opportunity to succeed. Image

The Trump Administration supports totally undoing the Affordable Care Act.

I’m headed to the Senate floor to read the letters of 100 families from across the country who would suffer if these protections went away.
Because of the Affordable Care Act, Delaney is able to get mammogram screenings to see if she carries the same genetic trait that several of her relatives have.
Kate calls her son, "the baby that almost didn’t happen" after battling cancer. She wrote, "Because of the ACA, I faced a future of hope."
