Iowa Caucuses 2024

Iowa. First in the nation. A state where politicians, campaign headquarters, national media, and political enthusiasts convene every four years to set the course for election season.

WELCOME TO THE IOWA CAUCUS CONSORTIUM

The Iowa Caucus Consortium is intended to highlight Iowa’s first in the nation Caucuses status by providing the media, candidates, and visitors with a meaningful, positive experience while showcasing the best that the state and region have to offer. The consortium is led by Catch Des Moines and the Greater Des Moines Partnership (with additional partners) in close collaboration with the Iowa Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Iowa. 

The Consortium manages the media credentialing process, including the Media Center at the Iowa Events Center, and hosts various events leading up to the Iowa Caucuses. It is also a resource for media support including b-roll, press kits, story starters, community engagement, and information about the region.
