Iowa Down Ballot podcast: Politics in court, on stage

This week’s Down Ballot was recorded Saturday morning after a packed Friday with politics in court and several candidate events.  Dave Price, Laura Belin and I run down the news on President Donald Trump’s lawsuit over The Des Moines Register’s Iowa Poll and a court hearing on Libertarian ballot access, plus the Republican Party of Iowa’s Lincoln Dinner and more. Listen here.

And if you seeing this on Sunday, July 12, there’s still time to join us at a benefit concert for Iowa Capital Dispatch.  It’s 4:30 p.m. at Uptown Garage Brewing Co. in Ankeny, featuring blues-rock band HomeBrewed.  Buy tickets here for reserved seating or general admission at the door.  Proceeds will help our nonprofit newsroom cover expenses for news gathering, staff and internship positions and freelance reporting.
