Bachmann for President
Campaign Grows in Iowa - Adding Full-time Staff Members and College
Outreach Leader
Urbandale, Iowa
– Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann announced today
the addition
of two full-time staff members and a college leader to the already
growing roster in Iowa. Two presidential campaign veterans, Megan
McGreal Ferraro
and Craig Handzlik, join the team as Advance Director and Lead Advance
respectively. Iowa-native, Alex Latcham, will work as College Outreach
Leader.
“Michele’s true conservative
message of limited government and economic growth resonates with
Hawkeye voters statewide,” said Eric Woolson, Iowa campaign manager.
“Megan, Craig and Alex will play critical roles in taking her message
across the state as our team pushes forward to win the all important
first-in-the-nation caucuses on Jan. 3.”
Ferraro will oversee the planning, scheduling and execution of all
campaign events and event staff. Prior to her position with Bachmann
for
President, Ferraro worked on John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign
and Bush/Cheney’s presidential bid in 2004. She has served as
project manager for many national grassroots campaigns including the
Consumer Electronics Association’s “America Wins With Trade,”
and coordinated the planning, launching and execution of many national
healthcare campaigns with Secretary Michael Leavitt, CMS Administrator
Mark
McClellan and CMS Administrator Kerry Weems at the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
Handzlik is a campaign operative who served as a key advance
member to former presidential
candidate John McCain and running mate, former vice presidential
candidate Sarah Palin. In addition to his campaign experience, Handzlik
worked as
lead advance to Secretary Michael Leavitt from HHS, among many other
heads of state and elected officials. In his new role, Handzlik will
oversee the
logistics and execution of all Iowa events.
Latcham is a Des Moines native and a student at Drake University. He
will head up outreach to Iowa's college Republican organizations and
individual
students.
