DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Christie Christie is set to visit Iowa next month to appear at a fundraiser for Gov. Terry Branstad. The campaign for Branstad, who is running for his sixth non-consecutive term, announced Tuesday that Christie will attend Branstad’s annual birthday fundraiser on Oct. 25 in Clive.
Christie is chairman of the Republican Governors Association, a role that provides him with the opportunity to raise money and campaign for GOP candidates. He made a July visit to Iowa, sparking speculation about his presidential aspirations.
During Christie’s last trip to the kickoff voting state, he raised money for Republican candidates. He appears to have survived the lane-closing scandal that rocked his administration, though an investigation continues.
Recent polls have shown Branstad with a substantial lead against his Democratic opponent Jack Hatch.
The City of Atlantic Personnel and Finance committee will meet this evening at 6-15. The committee will meet to discuss a severance agreement and will meet Wednesday afternoon at 5-15 to discuss the hiring of an assistant park and recreation director.
The Creston Police Department arrested Heather Davis of Littleton at the Union County Law Enforcement Center on a warrant for failure to appear on a child support matter. Davis was being held in the Ringgold County Jail on 4-thousand dollar bond.
Creston Police are also investigating an incident at the True-Value store who reported a tow-dolly was stolen with an estimated value of 3-thousand dollars.
