The campaign is starting to heat up as we enter the last few weeks before election day, and there are a lot of exciting things happening on www.tomharkin.com

Our Building Blue II: Counting the Counties contest is now in the final round. We had a tremendous response for the nominating round with more than 1,000 Iowans voting for their favorite County Party, and I am happy to announce the top ten counties that will receive $500 and move on to our final round.

The top ten counties are: Cedar County, Dubuque County, Linn County, Marion County, Marshall County, Muscatine County, Polk County, Pottawatamie County, Scott County, and Story County.

Congratulations to the first round winners. And good luck to each of these counties in the final round, which starts today.

I am also proud to announce that we have begun airing our first television ad of the campaign. The ad is called “Portraits” and will be airing all across Iowa in the coming weeks. The ad is focused on the goodness and the greatness of the people of Iowa, which is why I want to continue to serve you in the U.S. Senate.

You can view the new ad by clicking here.

Finally as you may have seen on our home page, a brand new shipment of yard signs has just become available.
