Sue Dvorsky has led the Iowa Democratic Party as chairwoman since June, 2010. Under her watch the IDP has continued to be a strong advocate for Democratic principles across the state, and has contributed to electoral victories from the local to federal level.
Dvorsky was one of the first Iowans to be involved with the 2007-2008 campaign for then Senator Barack Obama, serving as Johnson County co-chair for their caucus campaign. While she has always been active in Democratic causes and campaigns, she has also left a lasting impact on countless students as a teacher in Iowa City public schools, where she spent 30 years as a special education teacher.
As someone who knows the value of a quality, public education, Dvorsky was an advocate for teachers across the state as a teacher-leader with the Iowa State Education Association.
- Reelecting all of our Democratic congressmen in 2010, one of the few states in the nation to accomplish this.
- Maintaining Democratic control of the Iowa Senate by winning a decisive victory in Senate District 18.
- Running a successful 2012 Iowa Democratic Caucus, which saw over 25,000 Iowans show up in an uncontested year. More than 7,500 of which signed up to volunteer to help Democratic campaigns in the state.
In 2012 Dvorsky and the IDP are focused on building upon the successful First in the Nation Caucuses to expand Democratic control at all levels of government. Dvorsky lives in Coralville with her husband, State Senator Bob Dvorsky. The couple has two daughters, Ann and Caroline.
