Verona, PA - Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced today that Iowa native Jennifer Vesey Rossman will serve as his presidential campaign's Senior Policy Advisor for Healthcare Policy and Entitlement Reform.

Jennifer Vesey Rossman previously served as Legislative Assistant for Health Policy and as Director of the Senate Finance Committee's Subcommittee on Social Security and Family Policy for Senator Santorum from 2004 to 2007. Prior to joining Santorum's Senate staff, Rossman worked in various capacities for hospitals, medical groups, and healthcare consulting companies.

"I am thrilled to once again have the opportunity to work for Senator Santorum," said Jennifer Vesey Rossman. "During my time working for Senator Santorum, he proved to be one of the only members of the U.S. Senate to have the courage to level with the American people about the looming entitlement crisis facing our nation. Rick Santorum has proven time and again he has the courage to lead this nation forward, and I am excited to work with him and his campaign to bring positive change to Washington, DC."

"Jen has proven to be a trusted advisor and counselor to me on healthcare and entitlement policy for nearly a decade," said Senator Santorum. "She has distinguished herself as a knowledgeable voice on virtually all areas of healthcare policy and I am looking forward to working with Jen to put together a comprehensive proposal that will bring solvency to our entitlement programs and secure them for future generations."
