Key Richardson Staff Pickup in Iowa
February 15th, 2007 at 04:55pm Chase Martyn
Word on the street is that Presidential hopeful Bill Richardson has started staffing his field operation in Iowa. Sources have revealed to us that Brad Frevert has been hired as Richardson’s Iowa Field Director.
Frevert has worked for the Iowa Democratic Party since 2004, when he served as Regional Field Director out of Waterloo. After the 2004 elections, he was hired as the state party’s off-year Field Director, and he served as Deputy Field Director under Jesse Harris during the 2006 election. Before working for the IDP, he worked for Bob Graham’s aborted 2004 Presidential Campaign and then for AFSCME, organizing caucus supporters for Dean.
Frevert is an experienced Iowa organizer, and this pickup shows that Richardson is absolutely planning to play in the Iowa Caucuses.

Interesting–I was wondering whether he would make a play for this state. I think he could move up to the first tier. My husband is very interested in Richardson. I’m for Edwards but Richardson would probably be my second choice for now.

Brad’s a great pick-up, surprised no one else had gotten him yet. I really believe Richardson could be the breakout candidate if he runs a good campaign - he’s incredibly charismatic and has a lot of the right credentials. He was very well received at the DNC meeting. But again, he has to run a very good campaign to ever get noticed.

Richardson has to be hoping to make a big play in Nevada. He also has to be praying to come in the top 4 in Iowa to still be relevant.
With the obvious Iowa advantages held by Hillary, Obama, Edwards and Vilsack, I’m not sure he can get there. Plus, Biden, Dodd, and maybe Clark will be vying for that “4th ticket out of Iowa,” if that even really exists.
It could happen. I’m just not sure this is the year for a Hispanic male to garner traction in the heartland.
