DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) _ The Republican Party of Iowa has canceled its plan to host a forum featuring presidential candidates that would have focused on minority communities.
The party said Friday it canceled its Iowa Brown and Black Forum on Dec. 3 at Drake University due to “unresolved scheduling conflicts.” Additional information was not released.
A similar forum by the Iowa Democratic Party is still scheduled on Jan. 11 at Drake. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley are set to appear.
The Iowa Brown and Black Forum, advertised as the country’s oldest continuous presidential forum focused on minority issues, has featured one event since it was first held in 1984. It has predominantly featured Democratic presidential candidates.
This year would have marked the launch of a forum for each party.
