2016 Iowa Democratic Party State Convention Results
DES MOINES—Today, Iowa Democrats held their state convention at the Iowa Events Center in downtown Des Moines. Our state convention is the final step in the Iowa Democratic Party’s delegate selection process that began on February 1st, 2016. With 1285 of 1406 delegates seated, Democrats today saw an incredible participation rate, signaling that the party is strong, united, and committed to turning out voters in November.
IDP Chair Dr. Andy McGuire said that today’s convention showed that the Democratic party is clearly ready to move forward into the General Election. "I am energized and encouraged after the enthusiasm I saw at today's state convention,” said McGuire. “I saw hundreds of smiling faces today, and as Democrats, we know that in the end we are in this fight together to combat inequality, discrimination and exclusion. This is going to be the most important election of our lifetime--Donald Trump is dangerous, unpredictable, and unfit to be our commander-in-chief.”
