Mayor Parker’s message to Iowa Democrats
For the first time in history an openly LGBTQ candidate for president is running in the Iowa Democratic caucuses. As Iowa voters head out to caucus tonight, we urge you to take a moment to reflect on the the progress our community has made. Whatever happens tonight, we’re so proud of Pete Buttigieg.
Watch the powerful speech that made Pete go viral.
