Tulsi Gabbard "2020" caucus billboard still up in Ankeny

Answer: Tulsi Gabbard, a former 2020 Iowa Democratic caucus candidate who likely isn't still paying for the advertisement.

• But it's up in the air why it's still there.

What we found out: The billboard at the intersection of Highway 69 and NE 70th in Ankeny is owned by "Fairway," an outdoor advertising company, according to a sign on it

• A call to Fairway revealed the billboard was actually sold to Reagan Outdoor Company.
• However, a call to Reagan revealed the billboard was sold to the "property owner."

Yes, but: Staff at Sorisso Grille, a diner that is the only establishment near the billboard, claims they don't own the billboard either.

🧐 The bottom line: By the time the 2024 caucuses roll around, maybe Gabbard will run as a Republican and reuse the billboard — if she can figure out who owns it.
