Edwards Cancels Upcoming Iowa Appearence

John Edwards was going to be the keynote speaker at a poverty conference held by Mari Culver. The event was scheduled for June 19th, but was postponed due to the flooding and was to be rescheduled.

Charlotte Eby is reporting that John Edwards has cancelled that appearance.

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who admitted last week to an extramarital affair with a videographer chronicling his campaign, has cancelled a scheduled appearance in Iowa next month.

Edwards had been slated to appear as the keynote speaker for Iowa First Lady Mari Culver’s Conference on Solutions to Poverty.

Troy Price, spokesman for Iowa Gov. Chet Culver, said they received word today about Edwards’ cancellation and are working to secure a new keynote speaker for the event.
