President Announces 29 Iowa County Chairs
URBANDALE
–
Gov. Tim Pawlenty today released the names of 29 Iowa county chairs,
underscoring his growing organizational strength in the state that
holds the first-in-the-nation caucuses to launch the battle for the
2012 Republican presidential nomination.
“I
am
honored to have such strong leadership at the grassroots level,
which will be crucial to the success of my campaign in Iowa," Gov.
Pawlenty said. “I'm grateful to these individuals for serving as
leaders in their communities and for sharing my vision to rein in
federal spending, reduce job-killing regulations and repeal President
Obama’s costly, government-mandated health care legislation.”
"We're
excited
to welcome this accomplished group of activists to our team,"
Senior Political Advisor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. "As Gov.
Pawlenty spends more time in the state, his message and fiscal vision
for our country is increasingly resonating with Iowans, attracting the
best talent to join his organization."
