Greenfield—Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, along with Ray “Bubba” Sorensen, of Greenfield, will host a fundraiser for the Sorensen For Iowa campaign.  Visitors are welcome to enjoy dessert at The Corner, on the square in Greenfield on Wednesday, August 8th, beginning at 6:00p.m.  Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II (R-Greenfield) filed for the Iowa House District 20 race in early spring and won the primary election on June 5th. Iowa District 20, is currently represented by Clel Baudler who recently announced his retirement. The district includes the counties of Adair, Guthrie, and portions of Dallas and Cass.

In a statement, Sorensen said “My priorities are to work for the district by providing reliable constituent services and giving the people a voice in our legislative process. As a small business owner and lifelong resident of the district, I can be an advocate for rural Iowa with a common-sense approach.” Bubba is a life-long resident of Adair County where in Greenfield he operates his business, Sorensen Studios, with his wife Maria. They are the parents of two children. A graduate of Bridgewater-Fontanelle (now Nodaway Valley), he was active in sports and showing cattle in 4H. Engaged in local, state, and national politics, Sorensen served as an intern for former Iowa State Senator JoAnn Johnson and clerked for former Representative Steve Olson.

Sorensen is well known for painting the Freedom Rock® just south of Interstate 80 near Menlo, Iowa. Painting the original Freedom Rock® each year as a volunteer effort, he is now commissioned to paint the smaller Freedom Rocks® in every county in Iowa. He currently has seventy-four of the county Freedom Rocks® completed.
