WASHINGTON -- Sen. Amy Klobuchar is heading to Iowa to headline Iowa's Jefferson Jackson dinner -- an annual fundraising gathering for Democrats.
Klobuchar is no stranger to the state crucial to presidential hopefuls. She frequently darts down there for fundraisers and was there last month campaigning for Rep. Bruce Braley, a U.S. Senate candidate.
Klobuchar aide Justin Buoen said in a statement, "Minnesota and Iowa have a lot in common--from our strong farm economies to our shared belief in education for all. With her work on the farm bill and middle class issues, Sen. Klobuchar is a great choice for the Iowa Democratic dinner."
Iowa Democratic party chair Scott Brennan said in a release, according to the Des Moines Register: "We invited Sen. Klobuchar because she's a great speaker and a strong advocate for our candidates and we're pleased she's joining us to support our Iowa Democrats at this year's Jefferson Jackson Dinner."
