While in Iowa and Nebraska, Secretary Castro will meet with voters in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Montgomery, and will tour communities impacted by the flooding crisis along the Missouri River
SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 7, 2019) – Today, Sunday, July 7, and Monday July 8, presidential candidate and former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary under President Obama and San Antonio Mayor, Julián Castro, will travel to Iowa for his seventh trip to the first-in-the-nation caucus state since announcing his candidacy. Before traveling to Iowa, Secretary Castro will travel to Omaha, Nebraska for a meet-and-greet with local residents.
Secretary Castro’s trip to Iowa follows his stand out performance at the first Democratic debates, which the New York Times described as "Castro's big night." In a focus group hosted by NBC, five out of six college students who watched both debates said that Secretary Castro won both debates.
On Wednesday, ABC and the Washington Post published a new poll in which Secretary Castro moved into the top five polling candidates nationally at four percent. The ABC/Washington Post poll meets the Democratic National Committee’s criteria for consideration under its debate qualification rules. Secretary Castro had the four biggest grassroots fundraising days of his campaign, and has received more than $1 million in contributions.
Today, Sunday, July 7, Secretary Castro will host a meet-and-greet in Omaha, Nebraska, as well as a meet-and-greet in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Tomorrow, Monday, July 8, Secretary Castro will host a meet-and-greet with residents in Montgomery County, and will travel to Tabor and Bartlett, Iowa to tour damage from recent flooding and meet with residents who were affected.
