2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Delaney running Carter-like campaign

[TexasTowelie]

With a Jimmy Carter out-of-nowhere approach, Maryland Rep. John Delaney is quietly raising his profile in Iowa.

The 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful has made 12 trips to the first-in-the-nation state, including a visit to the 2017 Iowa State Fair with his family.

He’s campaigned in 72 of Iowa’s 99 counties.

Delaney’s also spent more than $1 million on television ads in the Cedar Rapids and Des Moines markets. His most recent ad is “A Shared Humanity,” in which he talks about his immigrant grandfather.

He’s also visited New Hampshire, host of the first presidential primary, eight times and has written a book.
