Local legislative leaders sign onto Hillary for Iowa


8 hours ago • By Christinia Crippes



WATERLOO | Iowa Rep. Timi Brown-Powers, D-Waterloo, wasn’t entirely surprised she had made an impression on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton when the two met briefly in Des Moines this spring.

But Brown-Powers couldn’t believe when the two met a second time during a private event in Waterloo that Clinton remembered not only the red, curly hair but also the specifics of their conversation. And once she heard Clinton address the crowd, Brown-Powers was finally convinced.

“I believe her. She’s being genuine,” Brown-Powers said Thursday, recalling her earlier revelation, in officially announcing her support for Clinton’s campaign.

Brown-Powers and Iowa Democratic Sens. Bill Dotzler and Jeff Danielson all officially announced their endorsement of Clinton during an open house event that also officially rang in the local organizing office.

Dotzler and Danielson didn’t need the same convincing that Brown-Powers did, as both had supported Clinton’s previous bid for the office in 2008. Still, they showed similar enthusiasm as the first-term lawmaker Brown-Powers in signing on to the campaign.

“I don’t know how you could not be excited about the opportunity to elect a quality candidate like Hillary Clinton,” Dotzler said. “I know she’s going to win the caucuses and win the nomination. I know it.”
