Welcome to the third and final episode of our three-part series documenting our trip to the Iowa caucus.

On this episode, Dustin and I are joined by Maria Gibbs to reflect on our Monday in Dubuque on the day of the Iowa Caucus. We ate lunch at a quintessential dive bar, explored historic sites around the city, got to know an immigrant restauranteur, and observed a caucus at Hempstead High School in Dubuque.
