Who are we?

Ed Tibbetts, former editorial page editor for the Quad City Times; longtime radio broadcaster Dr. Robert Leonard; and newspaper owners Douglas Burns, Dana James, and Art Cullen.
Laura Belin covers Iowa legislative news and politics like no other through her Bleeding Heartland blog and Substack column.
Julie Gammack, former WHO-AM talk radio host and Des Moines Register columnist, and Barry Piatt, from Washington, D.C., who served as press secretary to members of Congress on both the House and Senate sides.
Kathie Obradovich is a long-time political reporter and columnist who served as editorial page editor for The Des Moines Register before joining the digital Iowa States Newsroom project, Iowa Capital Dispatch.
Several of our panelists moderated presidential debates during the Iowa Caucuses. They regularly appeared on local news shows to discuss Iowa politics, but they have never before come together on this platform to discuss politics in Iowa.
It’s an exciting concept, and we hope you tell your friends about it.
