| Description | Cownie has courted both Republicans and Democrats in recent weeks and appears ready to jump into the fray. Cownie has called Branstad vulnerable and Hatch unelectable, giving him a shot at taking over Terrace Hill.
Cownie said he believes his record will attract Iowa voters. Hatch and Branstad are seen as state political insiders. Cownie sees himself as the person with executive experience capable of bringing something new to the governor’s office, he said.
Hatch, an all-but-officially-announced candidate for governor, held a news conference Wednesday at his Des Moines office where he detailed plans for a fact-finding tour that may lead to a formal announcement. His said his ability to raise money is part of that mission. Hatch estimated a successful race will cost upwards of $8 million, adding that his campaign will need to raise at least $1 million by the end of the year to be considered viable. |
