Axne, Bohannan, Mathis and DeJear among Soapbox speakers at IA State Fair

Looks like more Dems than Rs speaking. I hope there's some decent reporting on what they say.

The event will be held throughout the fair along the Grand Concourse in front of the Horner Service Center, according to the Register. Each candidate will have 20 minutes to address the crowd.

Those scheduled to speak at the Soapbox include U.S. Senate candidate Mike Franken, gubernatorial candidates Deidre DeJear and Rick Stewart, and congressional candidates Zach Nunn, Cindy Axne, Christina Bohannan, Liz Mathis, and Ryan Melton.

Candidates for state office scheduled to speak include Brenna Bird, Tom Miller, Michael Fitzgerald, Rob Sand, Todd Halbur, Joel Miller, and John Norwood.

The list of speakers is fluid and is updated regularly. The full schedule can be found at desmoinesregister.com.
