Following a successful night for the Hubbell campaign at Iowa's Democratic precinct caucuses, Fred Hubbell released the following statement:
"First and foremost, I want to thank every single volunteer, organizer, and supporter who braved the weather to stand up for an Iowa that invests and puts people first," said Fred Hubbell. "Because of your commitment and dedication, tonight was an overwhelming success and we are one step closer to a victory in June and November. Together, we will keep building momentum, keep growing, and continue reaching out to every voter across the state. Finally, I would like to congratulate the IDP for putting on this massive organizational undertaking and working to build an energized Democratic Party that is stronger than ever."
