| Description | Iowa Republicans announced today that Mike Pence, the Indiana Republican and third-ranking GOP leader in the House, plans to visit the Cedar Rapids area on July 24.
Pence, a recognizable face on cable news programs, recently has been a leading proponent of Iranian demonstrators and opponent of the climate-change bill passed in the House on Friday.
“Throughout his career in public service, Congressman Pence has been a forceful advocate for our party’s principles of limited government, personal responsibility, and political, economic and religious freedom,” Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn said about the news.
The news marks the latest in a series of early travels to the state expected to launch the 2012 GOP nominating sequence. Nevada Sen. John Ensign was in northwest Iowa early this month, while Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour was in Des Moines on Thursday. |
