Sen. Amy Klobuchars Iowa campaign team is ready to prove it will be a force to be reckoned with caucus night.
Her team has put together a 99-county day of action currently scheduled for Saturday, which one team member says will be used as a bit of a practice run for the caucuses.
The campaign will host organizing events in all of Iowas counties and will include appearances by surrogates such as Klobuchars husband, John Bessler, former U.S. Attorney Roxanne Conlin, various Iowa state senators, representatives and a whole gaggle of Minnesotans.
By doing this thing this weekend, we are showcasing that we are organized and we are ready to go in all 99 counties, and thats going to be one big piece to our success, said Norm Sterzenbach, the campaigns caucus advisor. The caucuses are a delegate game and there are delegates in every precinct. To do well on caucus night, you need to do well across the state, not just in certain pockets.
The campaign has certainly been working hard trying to reach every corner of the state. Theyve seen a 132.5% increase in precinct captain recruitment since the last debate and 101% increase in commit to caucus cards.
Klobuchars campaign also recently announced it has 100 paid staff members on the ground in Iowa, which has her team keeping pace with most of the front-runners in the race.

(1,086 posts)The old adage is organize, organize and get hot at the end, Sterzenbach said. And thats certainly where we feel like were at now. The campaign has been putting a lot of work over the last year into trying to build capacity, trying to build good will and strong relationships with people.
