The influential Iowa political couple Sue and Bob Dvorsky announced their endorsement on Saturday of California Sen. Kamala Harris for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination
The endorsement comes just hours before Harris speaks at the Iowa State Fair and midway through her first statewide bus trip across Iowa.The couple has been influential for decades in Johnson County, a liberal stronghold that's home to the University of Iowa and one of the state's most important counties for Democrats."I think she's the one -- the one who is best equipped to bring together the coalitions and bring together our base," Sue Dvorsky told CNN in an interview.
Sue Dvorsky is well-known in Democratic circles for her knowledge of the state caucus process and is considered a key influencer in the delegate-rich precincts of Johnson County.The Dvorskys were early backers of Barack Obama in 2007, helping him win the Iowa caucuses, in an upset over then-front-runner Hillary Clinton. Sue Dvorsky went on to serve as the Johnson County co-chair for the Obama campaign.In the 2016 cycle, the Dvorskys supported Hillary Clinton.
