Little Charter Oak Iowa, population 530, has over 144 registered Democrats only two of whom attended last night’s party caucus in the Denison High School cafeteria.
County Chairman Larry Peterson welcomed participants from all over Crawford County. Democrats watched the live message from President Barrack Obama and a recorded one from former Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack. Vilsack has been touring all 39 counties in Iowa’s new 4th Congressional District in hopes of unseating Tea Party demagogue Steve King. Vilsack emphasized Iowa values like civility, responsibility, and respect.
Crawford County Dems also had the chance to meet Denison native Kasey Friedrichsen, who is running for Iowa House District 18 as well as County Sheriff Sheriff Jim Steinkuhler and County Auditor Terri Martins.
Attendees were given the opportunity to submit proposals for the state party platform, volunteer to help support campaigns, and serve as delegates to conventions.
Petersen invited Central Committee members to a meeting at his home 7:00 PM, Tuesday January 10.
The Crawford County Democratic Party Convention will be held Saturday, March 10.
The District 4 Convention will be April 28 and the State Democratic Convention is planned for June 16.
