Statement From Governor Culver On The Iowa Caucuses
DES MOINES, Iowa – Below is a statement from Governor Chet Culver on the Iowa Caucuses and the current presidential selection calendar:
“Iowa will go first, that is the bottom line. Historically, there is always a lot of jockeying related to the presidential selection calendar. As Governor, I will do everything in my power to make sure that Iowa has the first caucus in the nation, and I’m confident that we will.
“The Iowa caucuses are scheduled for January 14th, 2008, and it is my hope they remain scheduled for that day. That being said, we are going to continue to work with the Iowa Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee to make sure that Iowa remains first in the nation.”
