Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Warren picks up key endorsement from Iowa state treasurer
Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) picked up an important endorsement Wednesday from Michael Fitzgerald, Iowa’s longtime state treasurer.
Fitzgerald is the longest-serving state treasurer in the country, and one of the last two uncommitted Democratic officials elected statewide in Iowa. Fitzgerald’s endorsement is Warren’s sixth from an Iowa state official.
A new poll released Wednesday by the Democratic group Focus on Rural America found Warren in a virtual tie with former Vice President Joe Biden among Iowa Democrats. Iowa is a critical state for Warren, who with a victory in the state caucuses next year could turbocharge her campaign.
In explaining his endorsement, Fitzgerald told The Associated Press that Warren “can address the biggest problems we have, and that is the hollowing out of the middle class. She’s clear, you understand her message, and I want her fighting for me and all of us.”
If history means anything, then the endorsement could prove pivotal for Warren. In 2007, Fitzgerald was an early endorser of then-Sen. Barack Obama, who went on to win the Iowa caucuses.
