Playing To His Strength - Business

The moment we saw the press release from the John Delaney campaign we thought it was brilliant and reached out to the Iowa State Director, Brent Roske, for details. It's called the Heartland Startup Tour and it's not a typical campaign event but something that plays into the strength of former Congressman John Delaney and that's business and startups. Click through and learn more about this novel way to reach what some might consider non-traditional voters.

Technology and Rural America with Congressman Ro Khanna

Congressman Khanna was instrumental in gathering some Silicon Valley giants together for this project and he'll be back for the open house event. I thought it might be valuable to look back at this conversation that happened when the project was announced to an overflow crowd.
