Klobuchar campaign plans to double field offices in Iowa

The Hill

Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s (D-Minn.) is planning to double the number of field offices it has in Iowa as it works to gin up support in the early voting state.

“Amy has now visited 68 of Iowa’s 99 counties and her poll numbers are RISING. But with exactly two months left until the first-in-the-nation state caucuses, it’s time to double down — with an emphasis on double,” the campaign said in a fundraising email to supporters Tuesday.

“We’ve set an ambitious goal of doubling our field offices in the Hawkeye State. And to do it, we need to raise $50,000 by midnight tonight.”

Klobuchar’s campaign confirmed to The Hill that it will be doubling its field offices in Iowa, up to 20. It currently has 60 staffers there, though that figure would also increase.
