Dodd Opens Iowa Office; Listing of Offices in Iowa

Chris Dodd opened a campaign office in downtown Des Moines.

Listing of offices on Iowa for Democratic Candidates:

Chris Dodd
1115 Grand Avenue
Des Moines, IA 50309

John Edwards
712 E. 2nd Street, Suite A
Des Moines, IA 50309

Barack Obama
323 E. Locust
Des Moines, IA 50309

Hillary Clinton, to the best of my knowledge, does not yet have an Iowa office or at least has not released where it is ; Joe Biden plans to open one soon. None of the other Democratic candidates seem to have mentioned it; not surprising given the limited budgets of Richardson, Gravel, and Kucinich. Richardson will probably open an office eventually, and Clinton almost certainly will. The other two I’m not sure of. The HQs of Obama and Edwards are a block and a half apart, fwiw.

Listing of offices on Iowa for Republican Candidates:

Tommy Thompson
10544 Justin Drive
Urbandale, IA 50322

John Cox
815 Office Park Road
West Des Moines, IA 50265

John McCain
2335 70th Street
Urbandale, IA 50322

Mitt Romney
3590 109th Street
Urbandale IA 50322

Tom Tancredo
217 Welch Ave., Suite 102
Ames, IA 50014

Giuliani, despite his front running status, has been accused of not having a good organization built; his apparent lack of an office in Iowa is emblematic of that, especially comparatively. The Iowa straw poll for Republicans is in August, and a strong showing there could be essential for Giuliani. The other Republicans are either not officially in the race (Fred Thompson, Newt Gingrich, Chuck Hagel), focusing on New Hampshire (Ron Paul, Jim Gilmore), or have their main headquarters close enough that they don’t feel another one in Iowa is necessary at this point (Huckabee, Brownback). Also of interest, Romney and Thompson’s HQs are around the corner from each other.

*I’m not sure that I haven’t missed someone’s headquarters. If I become aware of that, I will edit this post.
