The Iowa Democratic Party’s new chairman is promising to “fix” the party’s message and infrastructure after election losses in 2014 and 2016. Troy Price was elected chairman on Saturday.
Price, who is 36 years old, replaces Derek Eadon, who resigned in late June for health reasons. Price was the Iowa Democratic Party’s executive director for the 2014 election cycle and he’s worked on past campaigns for Hillary Clinton, Tom Vilsack and Chet Culver.
Price started the new job immediately on Saturday after the election.Price, who thanked his husband for being supportive of his job change, is the first openly gay chairman of either of the state’s political parties.
