More than 25,000 Iowans turned out to vote for Barack Obama, who was unchallenged on the Democratic ballot, according to the DNC. Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Sue Dvorsky gave the following statements on tonight’s caucuses:

Tonight’s caucus successfully brought our supporters together, and we’re overwhelmed that more than 25,000 Iowans turned out to talk about the President’s record and vision for an economy that restores security for the middle class. We not only saw how excited Iowans are to support President Obama, but to also work for his reelection. The Iowa caucus was a great opportunity to test our campaign organization and expand our volunteer base as we move toward November. In a strong show of support, more than 7,500 Iowans tonight pledged to volunteer for the campaign over the course of the next year, underscoring their commitment to continuing the change the country has seen under President Obama’s leadership.

That is an impressive showing, highlighting just how well organized Democrats are in the state.
