LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DISABILITY CAUCUS

"Advocating fiercely on disability issues for Iowans by raising awareness, activating on policy, and giving a voice and platform to people with disabilities in the Iowa Democratic party. Open to all Democrats that identify as disabled and their allies."

​

Did you know that the disability community is the largest minority group, with 1 in 4 Americans having a disability? To improve the lives of all people with disabilities, we must work together and bring in more allies. Eventually all of us will face disability as we age.

​

Current Officers:

Chair: Julie Russell-Steuart

Vice-Chair: Eric Donat
