🐦 FEB 23 at 7PM - Sen. Sanders - Cedar Rapids - Trump Tax Rally
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will hold a rally in Cedar Rapids next Friday in addition to an already announced appearance in Des Moines earlier that day.
The Vermont independent and 2016 Democratic candidate for president will headline a Trump tax rally sponsored by the Not One Penny advocacy group, which opposes the Republican-led tax reform package passed by Congress late last year.
The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Feb. 23 at the Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Cedar Rapids.
The Cedar Rapids rally follows the release of Not One Penny TV ads criticizing Republican U.S. Reps. Rod Blum and David Young for their votes on the tax bill, which largely benefits wealthy taxpayers. The ads feature an Iowa baker calling for Blum and Young to repeal the law.
The six-figure buy will run in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids markets during the Olympics, according to a statement from Not One Penny.
