Drake Hosts Michelle Obama
On Friday, October 10th, Drake University hosted a political rally for Senate Candidate Bruce Braley. In the midst of early voting on Drake’s campus, he wanted to encourage the students and members of the Drake community to vote early, and volunteer to help with the grassroots efforts of his campaign in the last month before the election.
To endorse him, Michelle Obama made a visit to the rally. No one can ever be sure which way Iowans will vote, so she stressed the importance of getting involved to make a difference via the midterm elections. Together, Michelle and Bruce were able to bring in enough supporters and news crews to pack the Drake Fieldhouse.
