Dave Price, WHO-TV's political director, will open the workshop with remarks on the importance of the Iowa Caucuses. At the Des Moines NBC-TV affiliate, Price specializes in coverage of the Iowa Caucuses and state government. His first book, "Caucus Chaos," provides an insider's account of the always unpredictable way Iowans help pick the next president.
Kim Reem, president of the Iowa Federation of Republic Women, and Dr. Andy McGuire, chair of the Iowa Democratic Party, will explain their party's caucus process during the workshop. They will be joined by Josie-Rae Bradley, the caucus to convention director for the Iowa Democratic Party, and Gwen Ecklund, past president of the IFRW, in leading a mock caucus.
