Live updates: Beto ORourke CNN town hall – CNNPolitics

Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke will appear tonight at Sheslow Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa.

Located on the campus of Drake University, the auditorium, which was renovated in 1992, holds 775 seats, according the school’s website. It’s also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

During renovations, workers restored the auditorium’s more than 50 stained glass windows and applied 35 tons of plaster to the ceiling by hand, according to the website.
