Iowa RANDPAC Chief Strategist Announcement
Des Moines - Senator Rand Paul named former Republican Party of Iowa Chairman, Steve Grubbs, as Chief Strategist of his Iowa RANDPAC operation today.
"If we're to be successful in putting together an effective organization to advance the cause of liberty and freedom, we need to have successful state operations.
Steve's experience as State Chair, serving in the Iowa legislature and working for five previous presidential campaigns will help us build on what we already have in place," said Paul. "He will join A.J Spiker in Iowa, and Doug Stafford nationally, in leading the organization that I rely on to advance the cause of Liberty in Iowa and nationwide."
Grubbs, a former Davenport legislator, is founder of Victory Enterprises, a Midwest-based political and technology consultancy firm.
"Senator Paul has the commitment to liberty and freedom that our nation is looking for in a time when the White House is relentlessly eroding both. I also believe that Rand Paul has the ability to broaden the base of our party to younger voters which is essential to the future," said Grubbs.
Steve Grubbs has served in leadership roles for two of Senator Bob Dole's presidential campaigns as well as Steve Forbes, Tommy Thompson and Herman Cain.
Grubbs, who currently chairs an international technology network of 3,600 tech CEO's will also provide assistance in the inclusion of technology, social media and digital strategies into the effort.
Doug Stafford, Executive Director of RANDPAC, commented on his relationship with Grubbs, "I've known Steve for more than a decade. He is well-respected in Republican politics and a good strategic thinker. I look forward to working with him in the coming months."
Grubbs joins A.J. Spiker, also a former Iowa GOP Chair, in the Iowa RANDPAC operation. Said Spiker: "I am pleased to be working with someone of the caliber of Steve Grubbs, and believe this is an important step for RANDPAC and advancing Senator Paul's political and policy goals."
RANDPAC is a political action committee whose goal is to elect Republicans across the United States who are committed to less government and more freedom. Senator Paul has actively traveled across the nation campaigning on behalf of Republicans and expects to maintain an aggressive schedule into 2015 and beyond.
