1st District Convention nominated national delgates
The First District Convention was a success, nominating delgates to various state positions as well as to the national convention in Chicago in August.
In addition, the platform was discussed and approved, giving the delegates a sound base to discuss with voters going into the general election in the fall.
Adam Peters was elected by the convention as a national convention delegate from Scott County.
Delegates gathered in the auditorium at Liberty High School in New Liberty. The facilities were impressive.
The arrangements committee set up the physical space as well as provided breakfast and lunch for the delegates.
Jean Semsch and John Lester were part of the arrangements committee, responsible for taking breakfast and lunch tickets.
During lunch break, delgates were able to mingle and discussed really important issues, such as who had the best sandwich. (L-R): Sharon Lake, Susan Stoefen, Adam Peters and
Registration to the convention was staffed by Susan Stoefen and Linda Telschow.

Standing room only: Bohannan fundraiser great success!
Although the day was chilly, the company was warm. Good food and good conversation capped off a good day for a fundraiser for Christina Bohannan in rural Scott County.
Good food greeted the supporters as they listened to Christina.
Christina spoke about topics of interest to the supporters present, including fundraising—Christina does not accept corporate and PAC money—and reproductive rights.
It was a “standing room only” crowd. While Davenport was well-represented, many supporters came from rural areas of Scott County.

Christina Bohannan Raises Over $820,000 in First Fundraising Quarter of 2024
On April 4, Christina Bohannan announced a huge fundraising total for the first quarter of 2024, raising over $820,000. Since launching her campaign last August, Christina has raised over $2.1 million.
Over 75 percent of contributions to Christina's campaign are coming from Iowans--real, hardworking families looking for a leader who will fight for them in Congress.
Her campaign is seeing an incredible level of grassroots support because Iowa families know she'll stand up to anyone to get things done and lower costs, grow the middle class, and protect reproductive freedom.
Mariannette Miller-Meeks, on the other hand, has only raised 33 percent of her contributions from Iowans.
