Letter From Rita Hart, Chair Iowa Democratic Party

Nov 9

Friends,

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who attended the 2023 Liberty and Justice Celebration this weekend. The L&J is the Iowa Democratic Party’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and we sold out the show with the help of all of you and speakers like Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, Iowa Auditor Rob Sand, Iowa House Democratic Leader Jennifer Konfrst, Iowa Senate Democratic Leader Pam Jochum, Warren County Auditor Kimberly Sheets, Des Moines Public School Board Member Dan Gutmann, and Francesca Turner, DO.

These folks stepped up to tell the story of Iowa Democrats as we work toward a brighter future for our state. We are working tirelessly to restore the right for women to make their own healthcare decisions, to bring parents and teachers together and end the divisiveness Republican leadership has brought to our schools, and build a strong bench of candidates by dedicating more resources to local elections.

Our sold-out event this weekend shows how fired up Democrats are in Iowa, and I can’t wait to continue working with each and every one of you to keep our Party moving in the right direction.
