For one afternoon in September, Warren County, Iowa became the center of the political universe. Speeches were given, connections were made, and despite the name, steaks were grilled. Never fried. 

What began as a fundraiser on a supporter’s farm in 1972 became the Harkin Steak Fry. An event attended by Presidents, Presidential hopefuls, press from around the globe, and activists from every corner of the state. After Senator Harkin’s retirement the Polk County Democratic Party took up the spatula… err, mantle.

All the while, it never seemed to lose its family reunion feeling.

For many years I have been a photographer at that reunion and I’ve put a collection of those photos into a book.
