Democrats launch campaign to boost early voting among Iowa college students

National Democrats on Wednesday announced a roughly $500,000 ad campaign to boost early voting among college students, including in Iowa.

The Democratic National Committee announced a mid-six figure campaign that includes flyers, posters and ads on buses at nearly 30 college campuses across battleground states and districts, including Iowa State University and Simpson College. It is the latest signal that the party views college students as key to its success this fall.

The campaign will roll out in the presidential battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as well as Florida, Iowa, New York and Ohio, where there are key congressional races.

Younger voters turned out to the polls in record numbers during the 2020 presidential election, making the difference in key battleground states and helping propel Democratic President Joe Biden to victory over Donald Trump, the former Republican president making another run for the White House.
