Iowa First



For generations Iowa has fed the nation. Now with the world facing a climate crisis, Iowa is poised to power America with clean energy. Only Bernie Sanders has a plan bold enough to avert the climate crisis and put Iowa first. As president, he’ll make massive investments in Iowa’s economy, create good paying jobs, put money back in your pocket and end the greed of fossil fuel executives.

Bernie Sanders receives enthusiastic reception at Latino presidential town hall in Iowa

Robin Opsahl and Barbara Rodriguez, Des Moines Register
Published 11:02 p.m. CT Oct. 24, 2019

Excerpt:

Four Democratic presidential candidates made their best pitch to Latinos during a televised town hall Thursday in Des Moines, but it was U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont who received the loudest and most enthusiastic response of the night.

The crowd of several hundred stood and applauded at length even before the senator jumped into his remarks, which covered support for improving the immigration system and protecting undocumented workers.

"Let me talk about this issue: that there are many, many undocumented workers in this country who are not only scared to death about being reported and having an ICE raid in their communities; they’re being exploited as we speak," Sanders said in referencing the federal agency that enforces immigration law.

The town hall was hosted by the League of Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and NewsmaxTV. LULAC describes itself as the largest and oldest Hispanic organization in the United States.

"It was Bernie's night"

Stacey Walker: ''We cannot afford more piecemeal proposals that will be watered down even more... ''

Sanders wins backing of prominent Iowa Democrat

Shaquille Brewster and Gary Grumbach
4:12 PM EDT


“Now is not the time for incrementalism or for candidates wishing to capitalize on disaffected Republicans by repackaging the same failed policy programs of yesteryear,” Walker will tell supporters in Iowa City according to prepared remarks obtained by NBC News. “We cannot afford more piecemeal proposals that will be watered down even more during the legislative process, barely moving the needle in the end. We need to reimagine America’s promise, and we only get there with a bold vision.”
