On tuesday evening at 5 o’Clock pm, Kal Penn spoke to a group of young voters at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Iowa City.

Penn is a strong supporter of Obama, and came to Iowa City as part of a series of visits he plans to make across the country. He emphasizes the importance of young voters in Obama’s upcoming re-election.
“He’s a president that understands the younger generation, he understands where the country is moving and I think it’s urgent that we continue to have a President like that in the White House,” Penn said, in an interview with KGAN.
