Republican Party of Iowa Statement on Iowa Democratic Party Caucuses Proposals

DES MOINES—Republican Party of Iowa chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement today in response to Iowa Democratic Party proposals to the Democratic National Committee today on changes to the Iowa caucuses.

"I recently had a productive phone conversation with Iowa Democratic Party chairman Scott Brennan," Kaufmann said. "We agreed that there will be strong, bipartisan cooperation to do anything it takes to protect Iowa's first in the nation caucuses."

"Chairman Brennan and I have agreed to sit down as soon as possible this month to have in-depth, face-to-face conversations about the Democrats' proposals and Republican ideas to strengthen the caucuses. In the spirit of good faith negotiations, I will withhold any specific comments on the Iowa Democrats' proposals on the caucuses until then," Kaufmann said.
