Get your caucus fix

A new website provides comprehensive information and analysis of presidential campaigns in Iowa leading into the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses. The Iowa Caucus Project, www.iowacaucusproject.org, is one of the most comprehensive interactive resources ever created for caucus and campaign information, including event listings, candidate bios, voter demographics, original campaign analysis, and multimedia.

Drake University’s Iowa Caucus Project and The Harkin Institute for Public Policy and Citizen Engagement created the website, which is updated daily by a team of faculty members and students and will continue to expand in the coming months.
