Dean Announces Iowa Leadership Team,
Key to Success
Dean says bringing new people
to the process is key to success in the Iowa Caucuses
Democratic Presidential
Candidate Governor Howard Dean announced his "Medicine Cabinet," a group
of key advisors to the
campaign, along with his
key to success in the Iowa Caucuses - commitments from a growing number
of Iowans to attend their
caucus for the first time,
or the first time in 15 years, to support Dean. Many of these first
time caucus attendees have gotten
involved in the campaign
through MeetUp.com and Dean Corps, Dean supporters who participate in community
projects.
"This campaign is giving
people who have given up a reason to get involved again and many for the
first time," Dean said
pointing to the growing
list of 225 Iowans who have pledged to caucus for the first time ever or
the first time in at least 15 years
on behalf of Dean.
"Across Iowa, Democrats who haven't caucused in years, if ever, Republicans
and No Parties are joining
my campaign. That
is how we are going to beat George Bush, by bringing more people to the
polls."
Eastern Iowa members of the
"Medicine Cabinet" include:
Chair- Dick Myers, former
Democratic leader in the Iowa House
Marcia Rogers, businessperson
Matt Osterhaus, president-elect
Iowa Pharmacists Association
Megan Scott, MeetUp and
Dean Corps Representative for the "Cabinet"
