On Sunday, CNN Political Commentator Bakari Sellers will join Iowa Democrats for a Back to Blue event in Des Moines. Back to Blue is a new initiative of the Iowa Democratic Party to increase local engagement and build resources for the 2018 election.
At 22, Bakari Sellers became the youngest African American elected official in the United States when he was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives, defeating a 26-year incumbent. A rising star in the Democratic Party, Bakari made TIME’s “40 under 40” and was #7 on Politico’s “50 Politicos to Watch.” Bakari will speak to Democrats about the current political landscape and important roles every Iowan can play in the upcoming elections.
