Hillary Clinton to campaign with Braley

CEDAR RAPIDS — Hillary Rodham Clinton will campaign with Democratic Senate candidate Bruce Braley in Iowa as the election nears. The former first lady, senator and secretary of state planned to appear Wednesday at events in Cedar Rapids and Davenport. She was expected to stress early voting. Clinton came to Iowa in September to headline retiring Sen. Tom Harkin’s last annual “Steak Fry” fundraiser.

She has kept up a busy schedule this fall, campaigning for Democrats in close races.

On Saturday, former President Bill Clinton will appear at two events in Iowa for Braley.

Braley, a four-term congressman from Waterloo, is locked in a tight race against Republican Joni Ernst, a state lawmaker and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard. Ernst will campaign Wednesday with Arizona Sen. John McCain.
