(Le Mars) — State Senator Bill Anderson of Pierson is traveling to Cleveland, Ohio
for the National Republican Convention. Anderson is a delegate representing Iowa.
The republican says this is his first opportunity to be a delegate at a national
political party convention.
The Pierson State Senator was an early supporter of Republican Texas Senator Ted
Cruz for president, so will he now support the presumptive Republican presidential
nominee, Donald Trump?
Anderson believes there will be some Republican delegates who may not have wanted
to support Donald Trump, but they may consider it now that Indiana Governor Mike
Pence has been selected as Donald Trump’s running mate. Anderson says there are
also those delegates that may not support Trump’s campaign. He says it is important
to be unified and support the eventual presidential nominee.
Anderson says he doesn’t know what to expect at this year’s National Republican
Convention. But he adds, given the temperature of the nation in recent weeks with
various shootings, and other mass killings not only in the United States, but
around the world, he is hoping for a safe convention.
We will feature additional comments from State Senator Bill Anderson regarding the
National Republican Convention on Monday.
