Today is the first day of Early Voting in Iowa, and the Campaign for Iowa will be holding First Voter Rallies across the state featuring Democratic candidates.

“This is one of the most critical elections of our lifetime,” said Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price. “Our values, our future are on the line. It’s time to turn our energy and activism in to votes. We hope that every Iowan, regardless of party, will exercise their right to vote in 2018.”

Rallies across the state will feature Democratic candidates Fred Hubbell, Rita Hart, Rep. Dave Loebsack, State Rep. Abby Finkenauer, Cindy Axne, Deidre Dejear, Rob Sand, Tim Gannon, among others. Candidates will address the crowd then lead the way to the polls.

Members of the press who are interested in attending First Voter Rallies, should RSVP to Tess Seger at tseger@iowademocrats.org or (503) 473 – 7624.
