Santorum Announces Staff Additions
in Iowa and New Hampshire
Verona, PA - Former Senator Rick
Santorum (R-PA) announced today additions to his Presidential
Exploratory Teams in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Jamie Johnson of Stratford, Iowa will join the Rick Santorum
Exploratory Committee as the State Coalitions Director. In
this role,
Jamie will manage the Senator's statewide coalitions and grassroots
efforts. A 20 year veteran of political campaigns across the
nation
and a frequent speaker to Iowa Tea Party events, Jamie has become a
well-known and well-connected voice for conservatism across the Hawkeye
State. Jamie has also served on the Republican Party of Iowa's
platform committee, as well as a delegate to three state Republican
conventions.
April
Baylor hails from Ames, Iowa and will serve as Assistant to Iowa State
Director Cody Brown. April previously served in volunteer roles
on
both the Latham for Congress and Branstad for Governor campaigns.
The hiring of Jamie and April are in addition to Senator Santorum's
existing Iowa team: Senior Advisors Nick Ryan and Jill Latham, Iowa
State Director Cody Brown, and Field Director Lucas Draisey.
Kristin Beaulieu, of Nashua, NH, and Tyler Carlisle, of Manchaster, NH,
will serve as field representatives for Senator Santorum's team in New
Hampshire. Kristin
Beaulieu previously served as a field representative for Jim Bender's
2010 U.S. Senate campaign as well as deputy campaign manager for Jim
Luther's New Hampshire state senate campaign. Tyler Carlisle
previously served as an intern for Congressman Frank Guinta's 2010
House campaign and mayoral races.
The additions of Kristin and Tyler compliment Senator Santorum's
current New Hampshire team, directed by National Political Director and
New Hampshire State Director Mike Biundo and Field Director Nick
Pappas.
"I
am excited to announce the additions of Jamie, April, Kristin, and
Tyler to our expanding team in the early primary states of Iowa and New
Hampshire," said Senator Santorum. "As I
continue to explore a run for the presidency, I look forward to working
closely with each of them to build the grassroots network necessary to
deliver our message of empowering the American people, and not the
government."
