On November 13th young professionals across the metro will get a front row seat to a “mock caucus” at the State Historical Building. This Young Professionals Connection (YPC) event allows attendees to tour through a life-sized caucus display, network, and participate in a live caucus of media celebrities.

“Young people have not been big caucus goers in the past,” says YPC Civic Member Nicole Hinton, “This event connects young people to the caucus process in a fun way.”

The Caucus & Coronas gatherings leading up to this pinnacle event have drawn more than 400 attendees. “Young people are interested in politics,” says YPC Board Member, Seth Hall. “It is just a matter of finding ways to get them comfortable with participating.”

Secretary of State Michael Mauro will help MC the event and local media celebrities including Erin Kiernan of WHO TV Channel 13 and Kevin Cooney of KCCI Channel 8 will be the “candidates” for the mock caucus.

A cash bar will also be available. To RSVP, contact Jessica Walter at 515.286.4950 or jwalter@desmoinesmetro.com.
Young professional groups hosting the event include the Young Professionals Connection of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, the Bull Moose Club, Drinking Liberally, YP Iowa, the 21st Century Forum, the 20/30 Society and Ankeny Young Professionals.
