Black Hawk County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner ...1 of 7 > |
August 14, 2011--The Black Hawk
County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner at
the Electric Park Ballroom in Waterloo marked Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX)'s
first campaign appearance in Iowa. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)
and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) also spoke. Perry was mobbed
by activists attending the dinner and by reporters. His choice of
Waterloo as the site of his first Iowa event was seen as a challenge to
Bachmann, who was born in and lived in the city as a child and
announced her campaign there. |
