Hillary Clinton campaigns with Braley

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is urging Iowa Democrats to get out the vote for Senate candidate Bruce Braley, saying he has "proven he will get the job done."

The former first lady, senator and secretary of state appeared before about 400 people at a union hall in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday. She was also scheduled to appear in Davenport.

Clinton came to Iowa in September to headline retiring Senator Tom Harkin's last annual "Steak Fry" fundraiser. She has kept up a busy schedule this fall, campaigning for Democrats in close races.

Braley, a four-term congressman from Waterloo, is locked in a tight race against Republican Joni Ernst, a state lawmaker and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard.

Ernst was campaigning Wednesday with Arizona Senator John McCain.
