George Wagner of Cedar Falls and fellow Iowans listen as Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry delivers a stump speech in an airplane hangar at Waterloo Municipal Airport. Kerry and President Bush vie to win Iowa, a pivotal battleground state in the 2004 race.
President Bush condemned John Kerry as a liberal Democrat who would raise taxes and expand big government, arguing Kerry would weaken efforts against terrorist threats at home and abroad. Bush spoke to about 4,000 supporters in a battleground state during his 11th visit this year ahead of the November election, contrasting their policies on taxes, defense, and social issues.
Sen. John Kerry told about 1,000 at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center that President Bush fails to see the situation in Iraq, misleads Americans about aims and progress, and lacks a plan. He outlined a five point approach to win the war backed by retired military and intelligence officials.
Iowa City area sheriff candidate Steve Snyder admits a poor word choice during July scouting for campaign commercials. In a DVD viewed by The Gazette he is heard saying I’m for diversity notice I have a w horse near a black horse while discussing diversity. He states the remark was undefended and that he apologized, with questioning over what was edited from the released disc.
The Iowa Attorney General's Office will determine the sheriff's race document case, with officials weighing legal action and potential implications for the election. The decision timeline remains under review as investigators examine evidence and compliance factors.
Cedar Rapids officials study a draft U S Army Corps of Engineers report showing problems with the 40 plus year old Cedar River levee protecting 1500 homes and 150 businesses in Time Check neighborhood.
