Gov. Rick Perry Announces Iowa Team for Presidential Campaign
AUSTIN
– Gov. Rick Perry has announced key members of his Iowa leadership for
his presidential campaign. Matt Gronewald will serve as state director
for Perry's Iowa campaign, Robert Haus will serve as Iowa chairman, and
Ruth Haus will serve as a senior consultant to the governor.
Gronewald, who was the deputy
executive director for the state party, is considered a rising star in
Iowa political circles. Gronewald was a strategist behind the GOP
legislative campaigns that led Republicans to win control of the Iowa
House in 2010. In 2006, he also managed Republican Bill Dix’s bid for
Congress.
A
lifelong Iowan, Robert Haus has worked on all levels of state and
federal races, including leadership roles for Senator Phil Gramm and
Steve Forbes during their presidential campaigns. He is currently vice
president for public affairs for Des Moines based PolicyWorks LLC, a
public affairs company. Prior to joining Policy Works, Robert and his
wife Ruth owned and operated Eagle Media Group, a full service media
production company.
Before
moving to Iowa in 2002, Ruth Haus spent the previous 18 years in
Washington, D.C., where she served as vice president of corporate
communications for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Her involvement in
politics included running Steve Forbes’ presidential campaign in 2000
as deputy campaign manager and COO, deputy executive director of the
National Republican Congressional Committee and deputy political
director of the Republican National Committee. The first campaign Ruth
worked on was George Bush’s successful 1988 presidential campaign,
after which she worked in the White House Office of Intergovernmental
Affairs.
