Jeb Bush Campaign Press Release - Four and a Half Hours at the Iowa State Fair

August 17, 2015

When Jeb hit the grounds of the Iowa State Fair, it was a four-and-a-half hour whirlwind of corn products, cowboy boots and deep-fried desserts. He threw a couple of baseballs, threw back a Budweiser and threw down a challenge as he entered the fairgrounds.

"I'm trying to set the record for shaking the most hands for a presidential candidate at the state fair," Jeb said before wading into the crowd. From the looks of it, he may well have accomplished his goal.

This visit was no "show and go." For Jeb, this was an opportunity to make his case to Iowa voters and pave the way for victory in the caucuses.
