Campaigning at Grinnell: A Recap

Here is a list of the events, by campaign, that were held on campus and in the town of Grinnell this semester. (Note that a number of candidates visited the town of Grinnell or the college over the summer when most students were not present; those events are not included.) Individuals or events marked with an asterisk occurred on campus, while candidate visits are italicized.

We've tried to be as thorough as possible, but we may have missed someone. If you know of an event this semester that we missed, leave a comment and we'll add it.

EDIT: I've scoured the web for video of these events and linked to them where video exists. In most cases, video only exists in small excerpts or in poor quality, but it's what we've got. If you know of video of campaign visits to Grinnell that we don't have listed here, give a link in the comments.
