Congresswoman Abby Finkenauer will give the keynote address at the Allamakee Democratic Party’s  Fundraising Dinner Sunday, August 4 at the Old Rossville Store in Rossville. Finkenauer represents the people of  Iowa’s First Congressional District in the United States Congress in Washington, D.C.

Congresswoman Finkenauer was raised in Sherrill, a small town in rural Dubuque County, in a family who taught her the importance of hard work, caring for others, and the value of public service. After graduating from Drake University in Des Moines, she was elected to the Iowa State House of Representatives at the age of 25. Throughout her two terms in the State House, Finkenauer made improving the lives of Iowa’s working families her top priority. She ran for the U.S. Congress in 2018 to continue to focus on building a stronger economy and middle class.

In November 2018, Finkenauer was elected to the United States House of Representatives. In Congress, she serves on the Small Business Committee, where she chairs the Rural Development, Agriculture, Trade, and Entrepreneurship Subcommittee. She also serves on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee.

Among the other special guests at the fundraising dinner will be Kimberly Graham, who is one of the Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate. Democratic Presidential Candidates have also been invited to this event.
