US Sen. John N. Kennedy traveled to Iowa on Friday to spearhead a fundraising campaign for the re-election of Gov. Kim Reynolds.
Kennedy, R-Madisonville, was invited by Reynolds to speak at an event known as Northeast Iowa Prime in the city of Arlington.
Tickets cost between $150 and $500 per person.
Most of the politicians who go to Iowa to speak seem to have presidential ambitions. Could this be the case for Kennedy?
It doesn’t say.
“He fully supports Governor Reynolds in his re-election and is happy to support him in any way he can,” a Kennedy spokesman said when asked. “Sen. Kennedy remains 100% focused on his re-election to the United States Senate and stopping the Biden agenda for the people of Louisiana.”
The primaries for Kennedy’s re-election are on November 8. The primary Democrats challenging him are Gary Chambers Jr., Luke Mixon and Syrita Steib.
Reynolds’ campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
