Ed Fallon, seven term state representative serving the central city of Des Moines, is running for governor. The primary election will be June 6, 2006. Fallon is known for championing the rights of people marginalized by the political status quo. A fiscal conservative and social progressive, Fallon has never taken contributions from corporate interests, lobbyists, or PACs. While being outspent by a 2:1 margin in two of his legislative races, Fallon has won all of them by substantial margins. The underpinning strategy for these victories has been his hard-nosed grassroots campaigning based at the precinct level. This unconventional, “bottom-up” organizing philosophy is the hallmark of his gubernatorial campaign.
The overall responsibility of the Organizer will be to develop regional and local precinct organizing drives.
POSITION CAN BE FULL OR PART TIME
The starting date for this position will be September 1, 2005 and will run through June 11, 2006.
