A candidate for President of the United States will be stopping in Adel tomorrow, as California businessman Andrew Yang will host a town hall event at Big Al’s BBQ.

This will be Yang’s second visit to Dallas County since declaring his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for President in the 2020 primary election. He previously made an appearance at the Dallas County Democrats annual fundraiser in Adel this past April. The town hall will be held from 12:30-2 p.m., and it’s free to attend and open to the public. Yang is one of 19 candidates still in the running for the Democratic nomination for President, many of whom have been spending a great deal of time in Iowa as they gear up for the 2020 Caucuses. He’s one of 11 candidates who have visited Dallas County this year, including former San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julián Castro, who will be in Perry later Sunday.

Other candidates who have already visited Dallas County include: Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who visited Perry, as well as Adel during the annual fundraiser and Sweet Corn Festival; former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke, Southbend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttegieg, and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, who each visited Adel; former Maryland Congressman John Delaney, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who stopped in Perry; and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, and California Senator Kamala Harris, who visited Waukee.
