Organizer Position with True Majority Opening Up in Iowa City


Betty Ahrens, the Co-Executive Director over at the Iowa Citizen Action Network, forwarded this job listing to me.  She says:

[We] are looking for an organizer for the True Majority project - they're a part of the Ben and Jerry Foundation based in Vermont. They did the Iowans for Sensible Priorities caucus project in 1999. They're going to do another project in Iowa again focusing on federal budget priorities. This one will be much longer term. They want to start next month and run at least through the 2008 caucuses.  Iowa Citizen Action Network is going to partner with them. It'll be their project, but we'll probably house them at our office in Iowa City, and assist in many ways. It's not listed on the announcement, but resumes should be sent to Duane Peterson at True Majority: duane@benjerry.com.

Blog for Iowa's Candidate Watch


Even with all the time that has passed since last November, I am amazed that one of the blog categories that gets the highest number of hits every week is still the Candidates section - just as if we were hot and heavy in the middle of election season.  Apparently, a large number of our readers come to us to check out the candidates.
 
Therefore, to fulfill our responsibility to our readers, Blog for Iowa is creating a Candidate Watch list.  As more progressive candidates reveal themselves to us, we will add them to the list.  This is our way to help you learn who is out there working for change.

At this time, Blog for Iowa is watching four candidates:


Ed Fallon for Iowa Governor
--has already announced


Bruce Braley for Congress in Iowa's First District


David Loebsack for Congress in Iowa's Second District
--will be announcing shortly


Elesha Gayman for Iowa House District 84, Scott County
