Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Kaine’s wife, Anne Holton, stopped in Carroll Tuesday afternoon on the campaign trail, and U.S. Senate candidate, Patty Judge, joined her during the event at the Carroll County Democratic headquarters on East 5th Street in Carroll. Judge emphasized the importance of the election and the impact it will have on the future of the country. Judge says her opponent, Republican incumbent, Senator Charles Grassley, does not engage with voters on issues.
Grassley serves as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Judge pointed to complaints of an ineffective government as a result of Grassley’s stance on Supreme Court nominations.
Judge claims that positive progress occurs when Democrats are in office. She says when you consider the way things have working in Washington, D.C. recently, it is time for a change this election.
Grassley holds an 18 point lead over Judge, 56 to 38, according to the most recent Quinnipiac poll.
