Iowa Politics with Jeff Stein — Fri. Aug. 25, 2023

We Gather Tomorrow

I know, you have plans for the last weekend of the month, the last weekend before Labor Day. But hopefully, your plans will include joining us tomorrow at the National Cattle Congress grounds in Waterloo.

Our now-annual listener appreciation picnic, this year called the KXEL Caucus Cookout, will be inside the air-conditioned Pavilion building just inside the main gate. We open the doors and start serving fine grilled Iowa pork and beef at 11 a.m.—yes, side dishes and ice cream, too—then starting at noon, we’ll start the presentations from the stage.

Come and go as you wish…certainly no obligation to stay for the whole thing, but you may well want to…you’ll hear from four presidential candidates in person: Vivek Ramaswamy, Larry Elder, Steve Laffey, and Perry Johnson…candidate Ryan Binkley’s wife Ellie will be there…plus we have surrogates representing Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley…and former Iowa House Speaker and current Republican Party of Iowa co-chair Linda Upmeyer will greet you, as will a couple of members of the Iowa House.

Above all, though, there will be plenty of time for conversation, mixing and mingling with the candidates—and did I mention the food?

It’s free and open to everyone…we ask that you reserve your spot at kxel.com so we make sure we have enough food…just click on the grilled hamburger as it moves across the screen.

We’re proud to have this lineup of speakers all in one place…shows how much they think of the folks who listen to KXEL.  We’re proud of that, too. See you tomorrow!
