On Iowa Politics is a weekly news and analysis podcast that aims to recreate the kinds of conversations that happen when you get political reporters from across Iowa together after the day’s deadlines have been met. Tackling anything from local to state to national, On Iowa Politics is your weekly dose of analysis and insight into the issues affecting Iowa.

As we welcome a new podcaster this week, we’ll also be discussing the latest hearing in President Trump’s lawsuit against the Iowa Poll and Des Moines Register, recent state party fundraising events, and the federal housing bill.

This episode was hosted by Gazette Des Moines Bureau Chief Erin Murphy and produced by Gazette Deputy Digital Content Manager Bailey Cichon. It features Lee Des Moines Bureau Chief Hailey Peck, Sarah Watson of the Quad City Times and Gazette columnist Todd Dorman.
