U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar

A candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States will be visiting Adel this coming Monday for a free event that’s open to the public.

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar will be the featured guest at a rally and meet and greet potluck at the Adel Stage and Pavilion on July 1st. The venue is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of 10th and Main streets in Adel, and attendees are invited to bring a side dish or dessert to share. The Dallas County Democrats are hosting the event, which will begin at 5 p.m. This will be Klobuchar’s first trip to Dallas County since declaring her intention to seek the Office of President, and it will be her first major public appearance following the first Democratic candidate debates.

Klobuchar is one of 24 candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 primary election, with the first step being the Iowa Caucuses. She’s the ninth individual to visit Dallas County so far this year. Other candidates who have already visited Dallas County include: former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, and Southbend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttegieg, who each visited Adel; former Maryland Congressman John Delaney, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who stopped in Perry; Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and California Businessman Andrew Yang, who attended the Dallas County Democrats annual fundraiser in Adel; and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, who visited Waukee.
