Fundraiser

I am proud to welcome back to Iowa this year's guests for the Steak Fry - David Axelrod and David Plouffe. On Sunday, September 12th from 1:00-4:00pm we'll gather once again at the Warren County Fairgrounds in Indianola for food, fun and good conversation.

Get your ticket for the 33rd Harkin Steak Fry today!

Ruth and I are thrilled that Iowans will have a chance to hear from two of the nation's smartest political strategists. Not only did David Axelrod and David Plouffe build a stellar presidential campaign in 2008, they both have tremendous experience in Iowa.

David Axelrod served as Senior Advisor to the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition and Senior Strategist to Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency. From 1988-2009, Axelrod served as Senior Partner at the consulting firm AKP&D Message and Media, based in Chicago. In that capacity, he managed media strategy and communications for more than 150 local, state, and national campaigns including Iowa Attorney General Bonnie Campbell and Governor Tom Vilsack.

David Plouffe was the campaign manager for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. After winning the election on November 4th, President-elect Obama credited Plouffe in his acceptance speech, calling him "the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the . . . best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America." David began his political career when he worked on my 1990 re-election campaign.
