DES MOINES, IA – On Friday, Iowa candidate for governor Rob Sand announced every stop of his annual 100-stop tour across Iowa – including Lee County’s two county seats –  with the first stops beginning on Wednesday, June 25 in Waukee and Ankeny.

His campaign said in Sand’s news release, the tour will be an opportunity for Rob to hear directly from Iowans about their top concerns, and for Iowans to hear directly from Rob about his vision to lower costs, make government more accountable, and help Iowans live better, healthier lives.

“As elected officials, it’s our job to show up and listen everywhere and to every Iowan. That’s what I’ve done every year since taking office as State Auditor, and it’s exactly what I plan on doing throughout this tour,” said Rob Sand. “Too many of our elected officials have left Iowa families behind to instead serve powerful insiders or their donors. I will go anywhere and talk to anyone because I believe we have to bring all Iowans together to solve some of our toughest challenges. I look forward to sharing my vision with Iowans and hearing from them directly throughout this tour. See you on the road!”
