Senate hopeful Jacobs to stop in Iowa City

Mark Jacobs, a Republican vying for Senate, will stop in Iowa City today to discuss issues as part of his campaign.

He will stop at the Airliner, 22 S. Clinton St., at 7:30 p.m. to discuss issues prior to the election this fall.

Jacobs is running for the Senate seat that will soon be vacated by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who is retiring after this term after 40 years of representing Iowa in the House and the Senate.

Jacobs previously served as the CEO of Reliant Energy. He founded the nonprofit organization Reaching Higher Iowa, which raises awareness of the improvements needed in Iowa’s public-school system.

Jacobs lives with his wife and three children in Wes Des Moines.
