The Iowa Democratic Party posted a press release announcing the Iowa delegation to the Democratic National Convention on its website.

I’ve reposted the release after the jump. It lists not only all of the delegates and alternates, but also members of the various National Convention Standing Committees.

I hadn’t realized that Iowa Utilities Board chairman John Norris was on the Platform Committee. Maybe someone in Denver will be able to persuade him that we have better options on energy policy than building more coal-fired power plants or expanding our use of nuclear power.

IDP Announces Iowa Delegation to the National Convention

Iowa Democrats Are United Behind Senator Barack Obama

Des Moines – Following the successful 2008 State Convention, the Iowa Democratic Party announced Iowa’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention.  The convention will take place August 25-28, 2008 and will be held in Denver, Colorado.

Iowa Democrats will be represented by 57 delegates and 8 alternates.  The delegation includes 7 delegates under the age of 25 and a diverse group of Iowans from all across the state.  

“Iowa Democrats are united behind our great nominee, Senator Barack Obama,” said Scott Brennan, Iowa Democratic Party Chairman and chair of the Iowa delegation.  “Our delegation is excited to formally nominate Senator Obama at what will be a historic and energizing national convention.  Senator Obama is going to help Iowa Democrats win up and down the ticket in November.”

The Iowa delegation will be chaired by Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Scott Brennan.

Iowa Democrats also generously raised $6,100 to benefit Iowa flood and tornado victims over the weekend.  The money will be donated to the American Red Cross.
