Thursday Night in the Park

July 12, Rita Hart headlined Thursday Night in the Park sponsored by the Clarke County Democrats.

Democratic Lt. Governor Candidate, Rita Hart, came to the Court House lawn to speak to Clarke County citizens about her thoughts regarding the issues in the upcoming election. She spoke about Iowa farmers, Iowa education and Iowa health care.

“I was born in to a family where my mother was a really strong Republican and my dad was a really strong Democrat,” said Hart. “ We had a caucus around our dinner table and we listened to both sides of the argument and recognized where we could find the things that truly mattered, that we could agree on.”

Mrs. Hart is a mother of five, former over 20-year school teacher in small Iowa schools and served in the Iowa Senate. She and her husband have lived on a century Iowa farm for over 30 years.
