Re-electing Gov. Chet Culver will be the main focus of the 2010 campaign, but to do so will require a strong party apparatus at all levels, Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Michael Kiernan said.
“It is no secret that I’ve been personal friends with the governor for a long time,” Kiernan said in an interview with the Iowa Independent. “I consider him one of my closest friends. For me, personally, there is going to be a huge focus on the governor’s race next year.”
