Obama Campaign Opens Fairfield and Perry Offices
Total of 33 Offices Across Iowa
DES MOINES – The Obama Campaign today announced the opening of new offices in Fairfield and Perry, bringing the total number of Iowa offices up to 33. Across Iowa, staff and volunteers are reaching out to communities and discussing Senator Obama’s vision to change the way we do politics in Washington, D.C. and transform our country. The Perry office opens as the local community prepares for Barack Obama’s Meet the Candidate event at Perry High School on Saturday. In Fairfield, local community members will hold a grand opening celebration on Saturday, October 27th at 2:30 PM.
“Our campaign knows the road to change begins in Iowa, and that’s why we’re reaching out to communities across Iowa to build our grassroots movement for change,” Senator Obama said. “By meeting Iowans where they are, our campaign is able to listen to and empower communities large and small as we work to challenge the status quo in Washington, D.C., bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end, and provide affordable, high-quality health care for all.”
Demonstrating a strong commitment to reaching out to Iowans, the Obama Campaign now has an unprecedented 33 offices open across Iowa. By comparison, at the end of the 2004 Iowa caucuses, Presidential candidate Senator John Kerry had 22 offices statewide. According to yesterday’s Des Moines Register, the Clinton Campaign has 22 offices and the Edwards Campaign has 15 offices.
“All Iowans should feel welcome to come to our offices and learn more about our campaign,” State Director Paul Tewes said. “Our grassroots movement is committed to listening to communities across the state and giving people an active role in our campaign. Change happens from the bottom up, not the top down, and each of these offices will provide opportunities for people to have a stake in our movement for change.”
All offices are open to the public and residents are encouraged to contact offices for more information on how to get involved in Barack Obama’s grassroots movement for change in Washington, D.C.
