Palm Springs. Paris. Glasgow. Iowans who are out of state will caucus for Democratic presidential candidates from spots around the globe.
When Dean A. Genth tries to convince fellow Iowans at a caucus on Monday to join him in supporting Pete Buttigieg for president, it won’t be in his hometown on the icy Winnebago River; it will be in the balmy desert resort of Palm Springs.
The party will expand the reach of the caucuses to Iowa students attending colleges out of state and snowbirds like Genth who flee the state’s brutal winters. The 27 caucus locations out of state include Tucson and Gulf Breeze, a beach resort town on Florida’s Panhandle. Also on the list are Brown University in Providence, R.I., the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and Marquette University in Milwaukee.
Stanford graduate student Ahmi Dhuna, one of the organizers, was unable to caucus in 2016 as an undergraduate there. Traveling to her hometown of Burlington, Iowa, is laborious and expensive; plane tickets cost about $400, and often the trip involves multiple airports, making it an all-day ordeal. The Stanford site will most likely be students and first-time caucusgoers who couldn’t make it back home, she said.
