They’re EVERYWHERE!!!

While the people of Iowa and New Hampshire find themselves up to their eyeballs in presidential candidates, the candidates are finding that wherever they go, there is a county official nearby.

One of our Iowa county officials likes to recount a conversation with Barack Obama…He walked up to the Senator and handed him NACo materials on the election project in an effort to education Obama on important county issues. As he looked over the brochure, the senator said, “I received the same material in Cedar Rapids earlier today.”

But it didn’t stop there….the following day, Obama was approached by our Story County contingent and once again got the message that county issues need to be a priority in his campaign.
