A Democratic candidate for President of the United States will be paying a third visit to Dallas County tomorrow, as U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii will be in Perry.

The Perry Area Democrats are hosting the meet and greet, which will be held tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Perry Perk Coffee Shop. The event is free and open to the public, and no registration is required. Gabbard has already been in Dallas County twice since announcing her candidacy for President earlier this year, though this is her first trip to Perry. She previously made appearances at the Dallas County Democrats annual fundraiser, and at this year’s Adel Sweet Corn Festival. She spoke with Raccoon Valley Radio at Sweet Corn Festival, joining us in the Big Red Radio for a live broadcast.

Gabbard is one of 21 candidates still in the running for the Democratic nomination for President in the 2020 primary election. Many candidates have been visiting communities throughout the state this year as they gear up for the upcoming Iowa Caucuses, including 10 who have visited Dallas County. Gabbard is currently the only one to visit the County multiple times. Other candidates who have already visited Dallas County include: former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, Southbend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttegieg, and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, who each visited Adel; former Maryland Congressman John Delaney, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who stopped in Perry; California Businessman Andrew Yang, who also attended the Dallas County Democrats annual fundraiser; and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, and California Senator Kamala Harris, who visited Waukee.

Anyone with questions about tomorrow’s meet and greet is encouraged to reach out to Perry Area Democrats Chairperson Monica Peitz at 515-465-9882.
