As the new chair of the Iowa Democratic party, Rita Hart plans to help candidates win elections even though the former state senator recently lost her own bid for a Congressional seat in 2020.
“My focus is squarely on helping our party begin winning elections again,” she said. “To be very honest with you, serving as IDP Chair has never been an ambition of mine, but I care deeply about the success of Iowa Democrats.”
Hart was hoping to represent the Hawkeye state’s 2nd Congressional District but she lost to Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks.
