Rod-Roberts-2-300x292 Here’s the official press release from the Roberts for Lt. Governor Campaign:

Day 8 of the “Roberts for Lt. Governor” campaign finds the former State Representative from Carroll, IA gaining support among the party faithful. The effort, started by a small group of Western Iowa Republicans, has mushroomed into a statewide campaign.

Treynor, IA June 21, 2010 – What started as a local effort by a small group of Pottawattamie County Republicans has gotten bigger and gone statewide. The effort to get former State Representative Rod Roberts on the ticket as Governor Branstad’s running mate is gaining momentum, but time is short. The governor is expected to name his choice for Lt Governor this week, and expectations are high among Roberts’s supporters that the Governor will name Mr. Roberts as his Lt. Governor.

The list of party leaders publicly supporting Roberts is growing. The current count, as of Sunday night, is as follows,

  • 28 – Republican County Chairs
  • 10 – Republican State Representatives
  • 2 – Republican State Senators
  • 3 – Members and former members of the Republican State Central Committee

Sponsors of the “Roberts for Lt. Governor” campaign will be presenting the final list of party supporters, along with the public petition supporting this effort, to Governor Branstad’s Office Wednesday.

I’ll be involved in delivering the documents.
