If you can't find the phone # for your local Democratic party office, you can call party headquarters in Des Moines for the info. It's good to call early because they may not have anything organized yet and the call might get them moving. Some of the bigger towns have regular ride programs with group pickups at care centers & malls (I'm pretty sure Clear Lake & Mason City do) but not all the little towns & rural counties have anything other than "call us, we'll find you a ride."
