Warren County Supervisor District 2 candidate Alfonso Valenzuela-Gumucio hosted a work session along with State Senate District 11 candidate Lisa Fleishman and Iowa gubernatorial candidate Deidre DeJear in Warren County earlier this week, part of DeJear’s “Workday Wednesday” program. DeJear said the goal of Workday Wednesday is to help connect with and elevate local candidates, and pass a unified message to voters.

“We’re in this election cycle putting in this hard work to not only connect with Democrats who are actively engaged, but those Democrats who may have fallen off. Those Democrats who are uneasy about things happening in their community, and even the ones thinking this democracy doesn’t work for them anymore. We are trying to help them come to terms with democracy only works when they are involved, because it is people power. And I know over time we’ve kind of circumvented putting people first, but I’m in the business of doing that and we need to do that in the state of Iowa.”
