Dubuque woman raises money to counter Trump billboard

Someone else is as tired of that fucking Trump billboard as I am and decided to do something about it.

This year's election is featuring a non-traditional campaign cycle. People are coming up with interesting ways of showing their distaste for some of the candidates.

One Dubuque woman was so disgusted as she drove past a billboard for Republican Donald Trump every day, she raised funds to counter the billboard.

Aaron Vosmek from CR Signs, who owns the digital billboards in Dubuque, says this is a new one for the company. Never before has an individual person, who is not attached to a campaign, bought a political ad billboard.

Kate Parks is a mom and teacher who says she's tired of driving past the Trump billboard. It's been on display along Highway 20 near H&R Block for more than a year.
