First up is Drew Peterson. Drew will be (and is) serving
Chris Lien for Congress as our Campaign Fundraising Director. Hailing from
Salem, South Dakota, Drew will be heading up our efforts to raise the money
that will help Chris get to Congress and give South Dakota back the voice it
deserves. Drew served the Mike Rounds for Governor Campaign in 2006 as a sort
of Renaissance Man, acting at various times as an event coordinator, strategic
sign setter-upper, political researcher, college campus liaison, and traveling
wingman for Rounds during his tenure with the campaign. While he may not be
asked to excel in quite so many areas for this campaign, we will certainly be
counting on him to raise funds like a champion. We’re looking forward to the
results. Some of our
livelihoods depend on it...
Courtney Heitkamp is our next contestant, so come on down Courtney! She will be coordinating volunteer activities in South Dakota’s political arena. Courtney’s duties include ensuring that towns and cities are prepared for the whirlwind that is the Lien Machine (a task not lightly undertaken) and making sure the voices Chris is anxious to hear in those towns will be ready for his arrival. Fortunately, for this campaign, Courtney will be able to help in various other ways as the Lien Machine wheels keep on rollin’(whether she likes it or not). We’re assuming she’ll enjoy it though. Two summers of working for Senator John Thune (one in Sioux Falls, one in Washington, DC) surely won’t hurt this campaign in any way, so we are excited to have access to Courtney’s experience and knowledge as we put the finishing touches on the Chris Lien for Congress campaign crew.
So there you go. Just an introduction to a few more of the cogs that keep the Lien Machine running smoothly. We’ll be keeping you up to date on various crew members throughout the campaign, so familiarize yourself with them now and get ready to hear about the great things they’ll be doing in the upcoming months.
