In this episode we discuss the Iowa Caucuses – the first nominating contest in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. We’ll dig into what they are, how they work, and what candidates need to do to win.

We’re joined by two Iowa natives and experts: David Kochel and Nicole Schlinger.

David is the owner of Redwave Communications, a Des Moines-based, political and public affairs firm. He’s who you want to have on your team if you want to win in Iowa – that’s included six presidential campaigns!

Nicole is the President of Campaign HQ, a Brooklyn, Iowa -based phone call and texting firm that has a client roster as long as your arm from across the country. She’s been a part of four Iowa Presidential campaigns and is one of the few Iowa operatives with both an Iowa Straw Poll and Iowa Caucus win under her belt.
