Senator Harkin is proud to announce that Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer will be the keynote speaker at the 31st Harkin Steak Fry on Sunday, September 14.

“This year’s Steak Fry promises to be another great event and I am honored to have Governor Schweitzer as my guest. He is a wonderful friend and a successful, hugely popular Western Governor, as well as a major national Democratic political figure,” said Harkin. “His outstanding speech at the Democratic National Convention was truly inspirational and I know he will bring that same level of excitement to Iowa as we fire up for this year’s election.”

Governor Schweitzer received rave reviews for his speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The Harkin Steak Fry is known as one of Iowa’s premier political events and attracts Iowans from every corner of the state. Past keynote speakers include President Bill Clinton, Senator Barack Obama, Senator Joe Biden and Vice President Al Gore.
