"This woman has integrity. She has grit. And she has a plan."

Charlestown, MA - On Friday, former Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Sue Dvorsky and her husband, former state Sen. Bob Dvorsky, endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president. Sue and Bob Dvorsky are longtime Iowa Democrats and their endorsement follows a list of 550 Iowans, including elected officials, party leaders, political activists and community leaders, who have endorsed Elizabeth Warren for President.

In an interview with the Des Moines Register, Sue Dvorsky said: "This woman has integrity. She has grit. And she has a plan."

"Sue and Bob have devoted decades to their state and their party," said Elizabeth. "They are the epitome of political activists and community leaders. I'm so grateful to have them standing in our corner on caucus night.

After about a month of internal debate—and a personal phone call from Warren during a break in the Senate impeachment trial on Thursday—the Dvorskys decided it was time to publicly back the U.S. senator from Massachusetts. The pair have never gone into caucus night undecided and, since 1988, have never split on whom they'll caucus for.

"It's about getting things done. I truly, truly think she's a person who can get things done," she said. "And whether people like it or not, her message has been authentic."
