The Iowa Democratic Party’s “Early Vote Express” stopped in Monticello on Sunday, Oct. 11, at Diamond Pi Company. The mission is to help educate Iowans on voting early and to encourage voters to have a plan in how they wish to vote, whether via absentee or in-person on Election Day, Nov. 3. The bus also helped in the campaign for local Democrats running for county and state offices, including Eric Green of Monticello, owner of Diamond Pi. Green is running against incumbent Dan Zumbach for Iowa Senate District 48. Stuart Adams of Anamosa was also on hand. Adams is running against Jeff Swisher for County Supervisor District 5. Volunteer Colin Ryan of Monticello also assisted in assembling campaign signs for the various candidates. (Photo by Kim Brooks)
