In response to Rob Sand’s victory in Iowa’s gubernatorial election, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Rob Sand, the Iowa Democratic Party, and all the incredible organizers who worked to flip this seat from red to blue while electing an Iowa Democrat to the governor’s office for the first time in more than two decades. As a lifelong Iowan, former assistant Iowa attorney general, and accomplished state auditor who fights for his neighbors, Rob knows how to bring people together to deliver for working families — and he’s going to put Iowans above special interests. As governor, he will be laser-focused on lowering costs, expanding access to healthcare, strengthening public education, growing the economy while creating jobs, and supporting farmers and producers.”
