Iowans for Hillary Campaign August Update
Iowans for Hillary displayed the strength and depth of our organization
during August. During the last month, we held 97 County Kickoff organizational

endorsement of two international labor unions, which combined have approximately
11,000 Iowa members and retirees. Hillary continues to gain momentum in
Iowa as we enter the Fall. Below is our “By the Numbers” August update.
