Iowa Democrats will hold District Conventions this Saturday, April 24.

District Convention delegates were elected at the County Conventions, held in March, and will also serve as delegates at the State Convention in June 12.

This Saturday, delegates will elect members to the Iowa Democratic Party’s State Central Committee and discuss the Party’s platform.
