You can't deny: It's caucus season in Iowa.

It's about 10 months until February 3, 2020, when Iowans will hold the first-in-the-nation caucuses to decide their top choice for the Democrat to take on President Donald Trump in the general election. 

There's a long road ahead and many, many candidates. Luckily, the Des Moines Register has a morning newsletter, published every week day morning at 8 a.m. that can keep you updated on what's happening around the state.

The Iowa Politics newsletter will tell you everything you need to know, from which candidates are visiting to the newest Iowa Poll results. We'll give you a comprehensive view of what's happening in Iowa politics to make sure you start your day informed.

But caucus news isn't all we cover. The politics newsletter also covers what's happening in our statewide and legislative races, news from Iowa's congressional caucus in Washington D.C. and what's happening at the Statehouse.

We'll also give you exclusive content from campaigns — like Gov. Steve Bullock hiring an Iowa communications director, even though he has not (yet) launched a presidential campaign.

The Des Moines Register is your top source for caucus news and our politics newsletter will show you what our reporters are seeing firsthand on the campaign trail.
