Several candidates for office addressed the Democratic County Convention March 10 in Pocahontas. State Senator Daryl Beall of Fort Dodge led off. He was followed by auditor Margene Bunda, county supervisor Ed Dewey, and supervisor candidate Jeff Ives of Rolfe.
Sheri Williams and Dick Gruber of Pocahontas and John Ryan of Fonda were chosen as delegates to next month's 4th District convention in Storm Lake.
These three platform plank resolutions were approved:
1. We support making health care and health insurance available to all US citizens regardless of ability to pay.
2. We oppose indefinite detention without charges whether military or civilian.
3. We support majority rule in the US House and Senate.
Three other resolutions were defeated (regarding drones, electoral college, and banks that are too big to fail). Seven more resolutions were not taken up by the convention following their approval at caucus in January.
