The Republican Party of Marion County held multiple events Saturday. U.S. House of Representatives candidate Mariannette Miller-Meeks was in Knoxville to give a speech and answer questions. She says that transparency and availability to the public are some of the most important qualities she possesses as an elected official.
“Iowa is a retail politics state. Being first in the nation, people are used to having access to candidates. As a state senator, I made myself available to my constituents. I think it’s important to be able to ask questions, speak with you, and we want to do that in the same manner.”
Miller-Meeks was joined by former governor and U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad, and his son Eric.
At noon, Trump campaign caravans toured around Knoxville, Pella, Pleasantville and Melcher-Dallas. Numerous supporters decorated their vehicles and paraded around their respective cities.
The Marion County Democrats also hosted their second “Riden for Biden” event, with participants from throughout the county.
