What People Are Saying in Iowa About Martin O’Malley’s Debate Performance

Iowans Praise O’Malley as Winner of First Democratic Debate
 
Des Moines, IA -- Tonight, following the first Democratic Primary debate, Iowa leaders joined together to praise Governor Martin O’Malley’s  strong performance where he seized the national moment to win the debate.
 
Governor O'Malley did not just meet expectations for this first introduction, he surpassed them. The debate had several moments where Governor O'Malley boldly showcased his record of actions, and not words -- namely on the urgent need for gun safety measures and comprehensive immigration reform – and those moments resonated around Iowa.
 
Iowa State Representative Charlie McConkey:
“The American people want a President who will lead, not just tell them what they want to hear or take a position based on what polls best. The first Democratic debate provided a unique opportunity for Governor O’Malley to introduce himself to the American people – and he did so with great passion. O’Malley is the only candidate who can point to actions, not just words, and his performance in tonight’s debate proves he is the candidate who will be able to actually lead and get things done for our country.”
 
Iowa State Representative Dan Kelley:
“Tonight’s Democratic Primary debate finally kicks off election season for 2016 and the choice could not be clearer for Iowans: we need new leadership, with a record of achieving progressive results, to get wages to rise and rebuild the American Dream. We need Martin O’Malley. As someone who has worked to build our clean energy economy – it was evident that Governor O’Malley was the only candidate on the stage who will give us actions, not just words, on climate change. Tonight’s debate proved it: Martin O’Malley is the right choice for President.”
Jasper County Chair Taylor Van De Krol:
“This election provides an opportunity for our Democratic Party to unshackle itself from the past and look to new, executive leadership to address the challenges facing the country. What was evident in tonight’s debate: for new leadership, we need Governor Martin O’Malley. Martin O’Malley has led on the issues most pressing to people like me as a young Iowan, a recent college graduate, and the youngest Democratic County Chair in Iowa.”
 
Iowa Assistant Attorney General and former School Board Member Nathan Blake:
“Tonight, Martin O’Malley showed he is the best choice to be our Democratic nominee for President. O'Malley brings a fresh perspective based on his record of getting things done as a big-city Mayor and two-term Governor. He has demonstrated time and again that he follows his principles instead of looking to the polls – in particular, we’ve seen that when he stood up for New Americans in passing the DREAM Act and welcoming refugees from Central America and Syria. Governor Martin O’Malley is the new face of the Democratic Party and tonight he proved it. I’m proud to support Martin O’Malley for President.”
 
Wappello Democratic Party Chair and teacher Melinda Jones:
“As Governor, Martin O’Malley brought people together from both parties to achieve progressive results: repealing the death penalty, adopting marriage equality, raising the minimum wage, and investing in education to make Maryland public schools number one in the country for five years in a row. As a Democratic County Chair those kinds of values are exactly what I’m looking for, and as a teacher his record of achieving progressive results is exactly what I need.”
 
Dubuque County Recorder John Murphy:
“So much of what Martin O’Malley said in tonight’s debate resonates with me – but most importantly Martin O’Malley has an impressive record to back it all up. O’Malley has a record of executive leadership -- actions, not just words – that set him apart from the rest of the field. O’Malley has consistently put his progressive values into action: from eliminating the death penalty, to passing comprehensive gun safety legislation, to his work treating mental health issues – Governor O’Malley’s follow-through has always been really impressive, and that’s what we need in our next President.”

Martin O’Malley for President Senior Strategist Bill Hyers Statement on the CNN Democratic Debate

STATEMENT: Hyers: O'Malley Wins First Democratic Debate

LAS VEGAS, NV - Tonight, O'Malley for President Senior Strategist Bill Hyers released the following statement about how Governor O'Malley seized his moment in the first Democratic debate and emerged the clear winner.

"Tonight, Governor O'Malley didn't just seize the opportunity to introduce himself to the American people -- he won the night. Governor O'Malley embodied what the country is looking for  - a new leader who governs by principle not polls and has a proven track record of getting results.

"The debate had several moments where Governor O'Malley boldly showcased his record of actions, and not words -- namely on the urgent need for gun safety measures and comprehensive immigration reform.

"Governor O'Malley didn't just share how he has taken on the NRA and won - he spoke from the heart about a family who is still grappling with the tragedy in Aurora. He connected emotionally when outlining why it is so critical that we act immediately to fix our inhumane immigration system and how his plan would provide New Americans with access to affordable healthcare and college.

"Governor O'Malley did not just meet expectations for this first introduction, he surpassed them. He demonstrated tonight what the country needs: new leadership."

Martin O’Malley for Iowa to Hold Game of Thrones-Themed Phonebank Competition

O’Malley for Iowa to Hold Game of Thrones-Themed Competition
*Winter is coming and so are the caucuses. In the Iowa Game of Phones, you either win or you dial more.*
 
Des Moines, Iowa -- This week, O’Malley for Iowa will hold a Game of Phones challenge where students and volunteers around the state fight to make the most phone calls and talk to Iowans about Martin O’Malley’s record of delivering results on progressive values.
 
Following the theme from HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, the challenge will break the state of Iowa up into five regions. The regions (Houses Targaryen, Lannister, Tyrell, Martell and Stark) will face off against each other and against the O’Malley for Iowa Headquarters (Kings Landing) to win based on the number of calls made by supporters in each region.
 
"In the Game of Phones, you either win or you dial more. Our supporters will be dialing caucus-goers like they are being chased by white walkers,” said State Director Jake Oeth. “Our campaign is committed to building a strong grassroots organization and organizing the Iowa caucus way: one conversation at a time. This is just one of the many ways that we continue to engage with caucus-goers on the ground, talk about Governor O’Malley’s vision and record of getting things done -- and also have some fun while doing it.”
 
Using technology, social networks, and capitalizing off the youth and enthusiasm of O’Malley supporters, the challenge will take the campaign’s grassroots efforts to the next level as the caucus season heads into the fall and the Democratic Party prepares to finally hold debates.
 
O’Malley for Iowa supporters around the state will be calling from their homes, coffee shops, restaurants and campaign field offices to participate. Media are welcome to join volunteers Saturday and Sunday at our field offices in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City.
