Sacramento-based photojournalist Max Whittaker has been covering the presidential campaign in Iowa for the month leading up to the Iowa caucus, which is happening later today. 

On assignment for the New York Times, Whittaker has traveled the state — numerous times — with the both Republican and Democratic candidates. He’s also spent time in one of the few towns in Iowa all of the candidates seemed to have forgotten. We’ll talk with Whittaker about life in Iowa and what’s happening there today.
