(Le Mars) — State Senator Rob Hogg (Houg) of Cedar Rapids visited Le Mars last
evening and spoke before nearly a dozen people. Hogg is a candidate for the
Democratic party seeking the position of U-S Senator. Hogg is one of four
Democratic candidates trying to unseat Republican U-S Senator Chuck Grassley. Hogg
spells out the differences between himself and the other three Democratic
candidates.
Hogg says another major difference between himself and the three other Democrats is
that he remains positive and delivers a positive message with his campaign.
Hogg says Senator Grassley’s decision not to hold a hearing on President Obama’s
choice for the U-S Supreme Court is unprecedented.
The Cedar Rapids democrat says the Supreme Court nominee is not the only issue he
has problems with regards to Senator Grassley.
Hogg says he is a strong advocate of the environment, as well as with
infrastructure issues. He says he is proud of his vote to increase the fuel tax to
help repair Iowa’s roads and bridges.
The Democratic Senate candidate says he wants to see all young people have the
opportunity to pursue higher education or trade training, and that all young people
should be employed.
