King — a four-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee — is campaigning on behalf of Bruce Braley,
Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. She has written or co-written more than 400 songs that have been recorded by more than 1,000 artists.

In addition to penning American classics such as "You've Got a Friend" and "I Feel the Earth Move," King is a long-time advocate for rural and environmental concerns. She is supporting Braley because she knows he is a commonsense problem solver who will fight for what is best for all Iowa families.
