Denver – Colorado Sen. Wayne Allard was in Iowa on Monday to help campaign for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
Allard, who will retire next year, was scheduled to meet with the mayors of Clinton and DeWitt, attend a meeting of state lawmakers in Davenport and visit a Romney phone bank.
On Sunday, Allard met with Republican activists at a brewery-restaurant in Davenport defending Romney’s values to fellow conservatives.
But Allard, a veterinarian, also took time talking to the activists about their family pets.
“Sen. Allard is pretty low- key,” said Brock Earnhardt, 62, a utility-company executive from Davenport. “For me, he puts a different perspective on Mitt Romney, who is high-energy. The fact that Sen. Allard is so comfortable with Mitt Romney lets me know that Mitt Romney must relax from time to time.”
