State Representative Mark Smith of Marshalltown is the first to announce he’s running to be the next chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party.

Current chair Troy Price announced his resignation Wednesday in the wake of the Iowa Caucus mess.

Smith says his background gives him the ability to step in and help restore confidence to his party.
