政治意義

Iowa is the location of the “Iowa Caucus” during the autumn and early winter of every fourth year as a result of the American elections.  Political candidates come to Iowa to campaign.  While other states have primaries, Iowa is one of the first to hold its caucus before other states hold theirs.  As a result, the state receives a disproportionate amount of national and global attention.  Iowa is important because it shows the opinions of an important cross-section of American voters located in the middle of the country.  Politicians use the findings and results as a barometer to assess broader national opinion on political issues and candidates.  Naturally, the fundraising efforts and tourism by candidates from all over the country boost the local economy.
