Hillary Clinton to Campaign at Labor Day Events Across Iowa

Clinton will discuss her agenda to raise wages for middle class families

On Sunday, September 6, and Monday, September 7, Hillary Clinton will celebrate the contributions of working families and observe Labor Day during events in Iowa. Building on her plans to raise incomes of working families, Clinton will focus on the need for an American economy where everyday Iowans can get ahead and stay ahead.

In recent months, Clinton has outlined policies to address college costs and debt, strengthen the agricultural economy and rural communities, and create jobs and combat climate change with a renewable power plan.
