Howard Dean to speak at Iowa labor conference

Howard Dean is returning to Iowa, the birthplace of his innovative 2004 presidential campaign — and the site of his amplified death wail.

Dean’s main topic will not be the White House but rather the statehouse, according to an aide at Democracy for America, the group the former Vermont governor founded after his failed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Dean plans to speak Wednesday at the Iowa Federation of Labor convention in Altoona about his group’s effort to elect more Democrats to state legislatures.

The group’s Purple to Blue campaign has focused on five races in Virginia this year but will expand to other states in 2014.
