Iowa Democratic Party Statement on 2018 Caucuses

Des Moines, IA – Tonight, Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price released the following statement about the 2018 Caucuses: “Tonight, we are incredibly grateful to the dedicated volunteers and Democrats who came out to participate in the Iowa Caucuses. Based on preliminary results with only two-thirds of precincts reporting, we’re excited to announce that tonight’s turnout beat both 2010 and 2014 – making this one of our most successful mid-term caucuses. We know the weather kept some people from coming out, and for those that weren’t able to attend they will still be able to engage in this conversation at the county level. But tonight demonstrated that, in spite of the challenges of the weather, Democrats are still energized about the future of our party.  In all 99 counties, Iowans gathered across the state to engage in a conversation about the future of our party and our state. We want to thank the thousands of volunteers, activists, and party leaders who have worked so hard to make this night a success. Tonight will go down as the night we laid the foundation for the great victories ahead of us in November.”
