Craig Schoenfeld, an Iowa lobbyist and a spokesperson from Des Moines, is the president of CR3 Connect, a lobby and advocacy firm. Among the many activities he is involved in, Craig Schoenfeld has served on general election teams at the Iowa Caucus. The Iowa Caucus is the pinnacle event that kick starts much of the election season. The Caucus presents Americans and those who participate in the event the first chance to vote for the president before the election. Unlike most states, which typically only hold primaries, the Iowa Caucus gathers residents in churches, school gymnasiums, and other public spaces to cast their vote in this pre-election election. The Caucus takes place in two parts. The first part involves caucus participants choosing candidates, and eventually, the number of candidates is reduced, as only candidates that have more than 15 percent supporters are considered. If a particular candidate does not make it to the second round, supporters can choose to join another candidate or try to sway others to their candidate. The final round of voting involves participants choosing a candidate. After, all the votes from precincts are tallied, and this determines the number of delegates sent to the county convention. This number determines the winner of the caucus.
