In this episode of The Cloakroom, our host sits down with Daily Iowan reporter Caleb McCullough to talk to him about the solidifying primary fields for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race. With three candidates running, eyes are on this district during the 2020 election cycle as it is one of three toss-up districts out of Iowa’s four congressional seats in the House. After the current seat holder — Dave Loebsack — announced his retirement this spring, it’ll be the first time the seat will be openly contested in decades.
