The Harkin Institute is partnering with The Cook Political Report to present a panel discussion, Drawn Out: How Iowa Got Redistricting Right, where experts on the matter will discuss Iowa’s redistricting process, its history, and how it has risen to prominence. The event will take place Sept. 18 at 2:30 p.m. at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Cook Political Report National Editor Amy Walter will provide an update on the current state of redistricting across the country. Attendees will also hear from individuals who played integral roles in drawing the state’s district lines and establishing the Iowa model 38 years ago, including Jean Lloyd-Jones, a named plaintiff in the legal challenge and then-president of the Iowa League of Women Voters.
