They speak with panelists about the state's closest congressional races and the gubernatorial race. Also on the midterm ballot is Public Measure 1, which asks voters whether to add a right to own and bear firearms to the Iowa Constitution and require strict scrutiny for any alleged violations of the right brought before a court.
The panelists also weigh in on the latest dynamic between candidates and local media, and give their best impromptu campaign attack ads.
