STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Washington (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton is headed back to Iowa on October 29, according to a Democratic source with knowledge of the trip.
The former first lady's visit comes just a little more than a month since she returned to Iowa after a six year hiatus. Clinton stumped for Bruce Braley, Iowa's Democratic Senate nominee, and other Iowa Democrats at the 37th annual - and final - Harkin Steak Fry in September. She had last visited the state in 2008.
Braley is currently locked in a tight race to succeed Harkin in the Senate with Republican Joni Ernst.
A number of big name Democrats have come to Iowa to help Braley. Vice President Joe Biden will stump for the Senate hopeful at an event in Davenport on Monday and first lady Michelle Obama stumped for him earlier this week.
Hillary Clinton's midterm campaign schedule
Any visit Clinton makes to Iowa - the crucially important first-in-the-nation caucus state - is immediately seen through the lens of 2016 politics given that the former first lady is widely seen as the Democratic frontrunner for president and has admitted that she is considering a run.
Clinton's October visit to stump for Democrats in Iowa comes near the end of her prolonged push for Democrats across the country. Clinton has headlined political events in California, Colorado, Michigan, Kentucky, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Florida in the last month. And is expected to return to New Hampshire and Georgia by election day.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Washington (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton used her Tuesday appearance in Colorado, where experts see the female vote deciding a number of statewide races, to court women with a personal message about her life and her hopes for the future.
Clinton usually targets women voters in her appearances. But in Colorado, the former secretary of state and likely presidential candidate in 2016, spoke about how fortunate she felt to be born in America and the message she hopes to be able to leave with children.
The personal remarks, while focused on turning out voters for Democrats Mark Udall, John Hickenlooper and Andrew Romanoff, sounds a great deal like a presidential candidate and resembled a message Clinton could use should she run for president.
"I have had a great set of experiences. I have been very fortunate in my life, but the most fortunate thing besides the parents to whom I was born, is that I was born in America," Clinton said. "I, from the moment of my birth, was blessed because of that. And I grew up believing with all my heart that if I worked hard, if I did was I was supposed to do, go to school, get an education, that I would have opportunities that were never available to my mother."
Clinton added, "Indeed that came true for me. I don't want that ever to be lost. I want everyone in this room to be able to look at any baby, any child and truthfully say, 'You have the same right to the American dream that I did.'"
Pro-Clinton group adds $2 million to its war chest
This was Clinton's second trip to Colorado in a week. She spent a few hours with Udall last week at a private fundraiser and at a local coffee shop and market to meet voters.
Weighing in on behalf of a trio of Colorado Democrats locked in fierce midterm contests, Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday implored party loyalists to get out the vote in an election for which ballots have already arrived in mailboxes across the state.
We need votes for people who believe in you, who worry about you and do everything in their power to give you and your families opportunities, Clinton told Democrats crammed into a hotel ballroomin the suburbs east of Denver. Dig deep, knock on every door, talk to every person, tell them to vote.
Clinton arrived here Tuesday intent on appealing to suburban women, a crucial voting bloc in statewide elections in Colorado. Sen. Mark Udall and Gov. John Hickenlooper, the Democratic incumbents, face competitive opponents and, like Democrats nationwide, have been dragged downby a president whose approval ratings in the state hover near 40%. A third Democrat, Andrew Romanoff, is battling for a congressional seat in Aurora.
The relative unpopularity of President Obama has left Clinton and her husband, former Bill Clinton, at the forefront of stand-ins seeking to rev up Democratic turnout before November's election.
At various junctures of her speech, the former secretary of State and possible 2016 presidential candidatewove together hallmark Democratic talking points such as strengthening the middle class, pay equity for women, abortion rights and approval of same-sex marriage.
Each of the themes has been touched on by Clinton in recent weeks as shes deliveredspeeches on behalf of Democrats, including Tom Wolf, Pennsylvanias gubernatorial nominee, and Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is locked in a tight race with Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky.
This election is important to everybody, but especially important to the women of Colorado, she said to rousing applause.
She added that if womens rights are rolled back anywhere, its a threat to them everywhere.
Though she didnt mention Udall's opponent, Rep. Cory Gardner, by name, Clinton criticized what she indicated has been a vacillation by the Republican on issues important to women.
These Democrats will never support so-called personhood laws that would outlaw common forms of birth control they wont tell the voters of Colorado one thing about personhood and telltheir colleagues in the House of Representatives the exact opposite.

While all of these events have been for Democrats seeking to win in November, the campaigning is also a way for Clinton to satisfy Democrats who expect their potential future presidential nominee to help the party in the years before the run.
By election day, Clinton is expected to visit over 15 states in her midterm push.
