Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Michael Kiernan

Kiernan speaks with Democrats in Dubuque
Former Des Moines At-Large City Councilman Michael Kiernan is the Chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party.

Kiernan, 34, is a small business owner, who served two terms as an At-Large member of the Des Moines City Council. He’s a life-long Iowan, born and raised in Madison county.

Politics runs in Kiernan’s blood. Both his mother and father are active Democrats. The first of Senator Harkin’s now famous Steak Fries was even held on the Kiernan family farm.

He also has vast campaign experience, serving as the Campaign Manager for former Des Moines Mayor Preston Daniels’ campaign and now-Governor Chet Culver’s successful 1998 campaign for Secretary of State.

He had always been involved with local Des Moines activities. In 2004, he ran for City Council, won and served two successful terms. Now, he’s concentrating his efforts on the Iowa Democratic Party, helping re-elect Governor Culver, send more Democrats to Congress to work with President Obama and expand our majorities in the state legislature.

“This last election was historic and energized me to want to do even more for the Democratic Party,” said Kiernan.

Kiernan was elected as Chairman at the beginning of 2009 and has served in this capacity ever since. Chairman Kiernan lives in Des Moines with his wife, Erin, a local TV anchor.
