Government : Cronbaugh among candidates endorsed by D.A.W.N.

DAWN’s List today announced its first slate of endorsed candidates in the 2012 General Election. DAWN’s List made endorsements in the State legislative seats across Iowa. This is the first of several announcements to come.

Since 1993, DAWN has provided campaign training, mentoring, and support for hundreds of Iowa Democratic women. DAWN's List is the only Iowa group dedicated solely to the support, recruitment, mentoring, and election of progressive women.

OUR MISSION:

1. Raise awareness, across the state, of the importance of gender equity in public offices.

2. Establish a strong, state-wide grassroots network, supporting the election of Democratic pro-choice women to public office.

3. Publicly support currently elected pro-choice, Democratic women in the Iowa legislature and assist in their re-election campaigns.

Andrea Jansa, President of DAWN’s List Board commented, "Everyone is aware how important this next election is. Much is at stake for all women and our families. Each one of our endorsed candidates will work hard in preserving our future. ”
