Cruz will be in Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Sioux City to participate in town hall meetings, and will appear at a reception in Dubuque County.
Below are details on his stops according to his campaign.
Wednesday, April 1:
2:30 p.m.: Morningside College Town Hall in Sioux City at Morningside’s UPS Auditorium.
