Early 1:30pm Start, Iowa County Democratic Party November 8th 2025 Meeting. Sarah Rodriguez 2:30pm
One-time early 1:30pm meeting start to allow business to complete before a governor candidate speaks.
Sarah Rodriguez’s campaign reached out to have her visit our monthly meeting Saturday November 8, 2025. Sarah will arrive around 2:30 and stay for 30-45 minutes. Usually she talks for 10 minutes or so and then enganges in discussion with the audience, which I think is just fine. Looking forward to the discussion.
This may be a future solution to work with candidates wanting to speak. We do have some significant business to get through, including elections, coming events and the question of keeping the office. But I imagine that can all be accomplished in an hour. Doing the business stuff first means that we can focus on Rodriguez with no pressure to have a hard stop.
Note: Elections will be held at the December 13, 2025 2pm meeting at the country party office, 43 High St, Mineral Point.

State Senate Candidate Forum in Platteville Monday October 20th, 5:30pm
Monday, October 20 @ 5:30 p.m. State Senate Candidate Forum in Platteville, sponsored by the UW-Platteville College Democrats. The location of the forum is the Nohr Gallery on the UW-Platteville Campus, 30 S. Hickory St. If you have not yet had a chance to attend one of these forums, they have been excellent. They admirably display the talents of the people who are hoping to represent the Democratic party next year in a crucial race to end more than 15 years of uncontested Republican control of the Legislature. So please do make time to come!
