I stopped posting upcoming Iowa political events at this blog once social media became the dominant way for people to publicize such happenings, but I’m making an exception for a roundtable discussion the Linn County Phoenix Club will host this Thursday, January 21, in Cedar Rapids. I’ll be there with John Deeth, who writes the longest-running Iowa Democratic blog, and Pat Rynard, whose Iowa Starting Line just celebrated its first anniversary. We’ll be talking about the Iowa caucuses as well as some state-level political issues, campaigns, and elections. The event is a fundraiser for the Phoenix Club, which supports Democratic candidates in Linn County. We bloggers are not being paid to participate. I enclose the invitation below, with details on location, time, and suggested donation.
