New House Speaker, Caucus Candidate Spending, and Evangelical Voters

On the podcast this week, we finally have a new U.S. House Speaker, we’ll recap Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meek’s fundraiser with several presidential candidates, and we’ll talk about our reporting on how caucus candidates are spending their money in Iowa, and on the ever-important Iowa evangelical voters. On Iowa Politics is a weekly news and analysis podcast that aims to re-create the kinds of conversations that happen when you get political reporters from across Iowa together after the day's deadlines have been met. This week’s show is hosted by Erin Murphy, the Des Moines Bureau Chief for The Gazette in Cedar Rapids, and features The Gazette’s Deputy Bureau Chief Tom Barton, Lee Des Moines Bureau Chief Caleb McCullough, Jared McNett of the Sioux City Journal, and Gazette Columnist Todd Dorman. The show was produced by Stephen M. Colbert and the music heard on the podcast is courtesy of Euforquestra and Copperhead.
