Statewide Iowa — Election Eve politicking saw the top Republican statewide candidates flying to rallies in eight cities around the state, while Democrats at the top of the statewide ballot rallied in Council Bluffs, Sioux City and central Iowa.
On Monday morning, Governor Kim Reynolds spoke to a crowd at the Ankeny airport.
Reynolds was joined by Senator Chuck Grassley and other Republican candidates throughout the day.
On Monday evening, Deidre DeJear, the Democratic candidate for governor, rallied with a crowd at a Des Moines union hall. DeJear asked the audience if they’d been discouraged by this weekend’s Des Moines Register Iowa Poll that showed her trailing Reynolds by 17 points.
DeJear and U.S. Senate candidate Mike Franken spoke at a rally in Ames November 7th. On this Election Day in Iowa, the polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. That closing time is an hour earlier than in previous General Elections.
