. . . Before Stumping for Clinton

Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown (D) is on the campaign trail in Iowa this weekend for his preferred presidential candidate, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

Brown had a series of events scheduled yesterday, including coffee and a party with potential Clinton supporters. Today he has appearances scheduled at a couple of churches before returning to Maryland.

Next weekend, an aide said, Brown is off to another early nominating state: South Carolina.
