DODD CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCES SENIOR LEADERSHIP ADDITIONS, FIELD TEAM EXPANSION, NEW OFFICES IN IOWA
New Offices Located in Burlington, Coralville, and Mason City
DES MOINES – Presidential candidate Chris Dodd’s Iowa campaign today announced it has expanded its senior leadership team, increased the size of its field team, and is opening three new field offices in Iowa.
“The Dodd campaign continues to build the kind of strong, experienced operation that it takes to win the Iowa Caucuses,” said Dodd’s Iowa spokeswoman Taylor West. “We are excited to keep growing and talking to Iowans about Chris Dodd’s proven record of fighting for Democratic principles and delivering results.”
Joe Zepecki has joined the Iowa campaign as Deputy Caucus Director. Zepecki has been a part of several Democratic victories in Iowa, having served as a consultant to the Iowa House Caucus in 2004 and 2006, when Democrats regained control of the chamber. Zepecki first joined the Dodd campaign in Nevada. In 2004, Zepecki worked for Gen. Wesley Clark's Campaign for President in Wisconsin.
Nikki Budzinski will serve as the Iowa campaign’s Political Director. Budzinski comes to the Dodd campaign from the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), where she has been a Political Representative responsible for outreach and coordination with state associations. Prior to her work at the IAFF, Budzinski served on John Kerry’s presidential campaign in both Missouri and Ohio. Last month, the IAFF endorsed Chris Dodd for President.
In recent weeks, the Dodd campaign has also added new staff and field organizers throughout the state, bringing the Iowa staff total to fifty-nine. The campaign will also open three new field offices in Iowa City/Coralville, Mason City, and Burlington.
