People who tried this

โ€œEvery morning, we started our day with the Iowa delegation breakfast and had the privilege to hear from a phenomenal array of speakers including Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Cory Booker, Governor O'Malley, Julian and Joaquin Castro, Governor Vilsack, and many others. The delegation breakfast was a great time for me to build relationships and friendships with fellow Iowans and learn about their perspectives and interests. Throughout the week, I also attended various caucuses and meetings to learn about issues impacting different communities and what is being done to tackle them. Most of the action took place in the evenings at the Wells Fargo Arena, where we heard from remarkable speakers such as President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, President Bill Clinton, Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, and many others.โ€
