COLUMBUS JUNCTION, IA- Today, Democratic State Senator Nate Boulton kicked off his campaign for Governor of Iowa. Nate Boulton is originally from Columbus Junction and currently represents the east side of Des Moines and Pleasant Hill in the Iowa Senate. As the ranking Democrat on the Labor Committee, Nate led the fight against Republican attacks to roll back workers rights this legislative session.
“I am excited to announce my campaign for Governor,” Nate Boulton said. “For too long the Branstad Reynolds agenda has been about holding people back and taking away. I launch this campaign for Governor knowing we are fighting for the soul of our state. We will put forth a vision for Iowa that enhances the quality of life for all Iowans by investing in education, rewards hard work, protects Iowa’s resources, and grows our rural economy.”
The 2018 Iowa election for Governor will take place on November 6, 2018. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, is replacing incumbent Governor Terry Branstad.
“Over the past few months, we’ve witnessed countless attacks on working families,” Boulton said. “I believe our working men and women are the backbone of a strong economy – that’s why I’ve stood up for workers’ rights as an attorney in the courtroom and as a Senator in the Iowa Legislature.”
I will not waver on my commitment to do what’s right for those who work to make Iowa stronger and safer every day – and I’m committed to standing up and speaking up in every way I can.
