Elizabeth Warren plans to campaign in Iowa for Senate candidate Zach Wahls at a May 10 rally, adding to her endorsement of him in the Democratic primary. The race also has endorsements for Wahls’ opponent, Josh Turek, from several centrist Democratic senators.
Warren plans to join Wahls at a Des Moines rally during his “Iowans Over Insiders” tour. Wahls’ campaign said the event will highlight his proposals on corporate influence in politics, costs for working families, the federal minimum wage, agriculture and rural Iowa. Warren praised Wahls in a campaign statement and said she was proud to help him win.
Warren endorsed Wahls in March. The article says Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, Maggie Hassan and Tammy Duckworth have endorsed Turek. Polls cited in the article conflict: a VoteVets Action Fund survey found Turek leading by 20 points, while a Teamsters local-commissioned poll indicated Wahls had an 18-point advantage.
Community verdict
VOTING CLOSEDNo good or bad look here
This story reports what happened without casting Wahls in a good or bad light, so readers don’t rate it and it doesn’t count toward Wahls’s record.
