Clay County Leadership Team
Mitch Day, Chair - Hello! My name is Mitch and I am the current Chair of the Clay County Democrats. I grew up in a union household (my mother is a retired teacher) and saw firsthand the importance of protecting the middle class and helping those that need it most. I am committed to continuing that tradition by making Clay County and Iowa's 4th District a welcoming place for everyone.
Jeni Oelkers, Vice Chair - Hi! I’m Jeni Oelkers and I am vice chair of the Clay County Democrats. I am a wife and mother of 4 boys. My two youngest have special needs and protecting their rights and making sure I do everything I can for them to have a fulfilling equal life is why I got involved in our local party. We have a lot of work to do in this county/district/state, but I’m committed to doing everything I can.
Ryan Dotson, Treasurer - I’m Ryan Dotson, Treasurer of Clay County Democrats. I was born and raised in Clay County, but I lived in central Florida for more than twenty years. I now live in Spencer with my wife and three daughters, and we are very happy to be back in Northwest Iowa! I am a graduate of Spencer High School and UNI and a life-long Democrat. I am a fifth-generation Clay County resident and sixth generation Iowan; I believe that the true values of this region are best reflected by the Democratic Party: a strong sense of community, caring for our friends and neighbors, respecting and valuing others, and just being nice in general!
