Glasson 'all in' on campaign for governor

CEDAR RAPIDS — After a 100-day “Listening to Iowa” tour, nurse Cathy Glasson declared herself “all in for a better future for Iowa” and Tuesday officially joined the race for the 2018 Democratic nomination for governor.

She pledged to take on the Capitol political establishment and give working Iowans a reason to stand in line to vote.

Her campaign, Glasson said at her announcement at the DoubleTree Hotel & Convention Center in Cedar Rapids, is about “real Iowans … who feel ignored and left out, who fight to make it every day in an economy that’s rigged for the billionaires and the bosses, hardworking people who try to get ahead, but keep getting left behind.”
