Why Iowa Matters to Presidential Elections
Click here to send Ryan a text message!Episode #276Why is IOWA so important to presidential elections? Ryan shares why his home state gets so much political attention every four years - and why it's good for America.The Iowa caucuses are the first electoral test in presidential races. Since 1972, only one candidate has won the presidency without winning Iowa or New Hampshire.To succeed in Iowa, candidates must build an effective statewide organization and genuinely connect with a diverse range of voters.Iowa offers a valuable test of a campaign's grassroots strength essential for national victories. Candidates interact with urban, rural, young, old, and diverse demographics.Performing well provides momentum through heavy media coverage. Surprises in Iowa shape national perceptions of candidates.Poor showings often lead candidates to drop out and hurt fundraising and volunteers.The mix of demographics and need to campaign locally are why Iowa helps gauge a candidate's broader appeal. Coastal states offer more homogeneous electorates.The Iowa caucuses play an influential role in propelling winners forward and sinking losers. Their first voting status solidifies political importance.MORE FROM RYAN:Get your FREE DOWNLOAD 21 Days to a Spirit-Led Life to learn how the Holy Spirit can be your personal guide through today’s cultural chaosSubscribe to Cutting Edge Faith on YouTubeConnect with Ryan on Instagram or LinkedInSubmit a question or topic for the podcast at ryanshoward.com/contactGet Ryan’s eCourse & Coaching ProgramsSupport the show
