Election Day, 2016 will take place One year from November 8, 2015. To mark the occasion, the Carroll County Democratic Party invites you to join us for our “One Year From Today” fundraising dinner on November 8th at 6 p.m. at the Swan Lake Nature Center south of Carroll.
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, Iowa Treasurer Mike Fitzgerald, and State Senator Chaz Allen of Newton will be keynote speakers at the event. All Democratic Presidential candidates have been invited, as well as state and federal Democratic candidates.
Attorney General Miller has served in office since he was first elected in 1978, except for four years (1991-94) when he was in private practice. Mr. Miller has earned a reputation for integrity, high quality legal work, and strong work on behalf of all Iowans.
Treasurer Fitzgerald serves as trustee and custodian of Iowa’s three state pension funds. In addition, he invests over three billion dollars of state operating funds. He has returned millions of dollars in lost property through the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt. He is the administrator of Iowa’s 529 College Savings Programs including College Savings Iowa, with over $3 billion invested.
Democratic State Senator Chaz Allen is the former Mayor of Newton and served during the time that Maytag left the city. His leadership was credited as bringing the city back through various economic development initiatives. He was elected to the Iowa Senate in 2014.
“We want to bring Carroll area Democrats together to get fired up for the Iowa Caucuses”, said Tim Tracy, Co-Chair of the Carroll County Democratic Central Committee.
“The 2016 elections are critical to continuing the growth and prosperity that Democrats have achieved for hard working Americans over the past seven years. We want all Democrats to share that positive message and move all of us forward through the leadership of the Democratic Party in 2016 and beyond.”
The Carroll County Democrats held a similar dinner in 1983, featuring then presidential candidates Walter Mondale and Alan Cranston. Attorney General Miller attended that event.
Tickets are $25.00 and can be purchased through the Carroll County Democrats website – www.carrolldems.org – or can be purchased at the door.
