(Radio Iowa) – Just three of the dozen or so G-O-P presidential candidates have announced plans to campaign in Iowa over the 4th of July holiday and it’s been a quiet couple of weeks on the Iowa Caucus campaign trail. As Radio Iowa’s O. Kay Henderson reports, that may be because of a looming fundraising deadline.

In addition to the fundraising threshold, candidates have to show they’re reached at least one percent support in three different polls to qualify. Former Vice President Mike Pence plans to be at the 4th of July parade in Urbandale and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson is visiting the Linn County Fair Sunday and will be in the West Des Moines parade on Monday night. Texas pastor Ryan Binkley is also campaigning in the state this weekend.

As of noon on Friday, no other campaign has indicated their candidate will be here over the 4th of July holiday period.
