State Rep. Linda Upmeyer said Sunday on her Facebook page that she met Sarah and Todd Palin.
Politico.com is reporting that “Sarah Palin dropped in Saturday at a major summer dinner hosted by one of Iowa’s top GOP businessmen, a source in attendance at the event says.
“The former Alaska governor paid a visit to the get-together hosted by wealthy energy executive Bruce Rastetter, mingling with a crowd of upwards of 750 people.”
Politico.com also reported that “Gov. Terry Branstad and Reps. Tom Latham and Steve King were present.”
The dinner was held in Hubbard, Iowa at the home of Bruce Rastetter, a powerful Republican and a member of the Iowa Board of Regents. The Waterloo Courier has called Rastetter a “hog, ethanol baron” and a “Republican kingmaker.”
The following pictures were posted by Upmeyer, along with some quotes she left under each one.
A request for more information from Upmeyer was not immediately answered.
Upmeyer: “Super to see Sarah Palin and she was so gracious to share time with so many of us.”
Upmeyer: “Great party, and fun to see the Palins again. Picture with Todd to send to Newt! Sarah giving me great advice!”
