Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad’s (R) campaign committee announced it has hired four campaign staffers to strategize for his re-election in 2014, the Des Moines Register reports.
Said Branstad: “Over the coming weeks and months, you will hear from our campaign team as they begin voter contact, outreach and community recruitment in a way no other Republican in Iowa has done before.”
“The campaign committee said the staffers will begin work now even though the governor does not plan to announce his intentions until next year.”
