Warren: Billionaires aren’t going to decide Iowa Senate race

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told an audience of Iowa voters on Sunday that billionaires aren’t going to decide who will be the next senator from Iowa.

Warren traveled to Iowa this weekend to stump for Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa), who is running against Republican candidate Joni Ernst for the open Senate seat.

{mosads}Warren touted Braley’s hard-working roots at a rally in Iowa City on Sunday afternoon and said Braley is “fighting for your future,” according to the Iowa Democratic Party’s twitter account.

“I don’t think the billionaires are join to decide the next Senator from Iowa,” Warren said, hinting at Ernst’s alleged ties to the conservative donors Charles and David Koch. “I think you are going to decide.”

Braley is neck and neck with Ernst in polling for the seat, which could decide Senate control next month. 

Warren is spending the final weeks leading up to the election campaigning for Democrats in some of the most heavily contested races, and said her efforts in Iowa were motivated by Braley’s statistical tie with Ernst.

Warren will also make a stop in Des Moines with Braley later on Sunday.
