Giertz will serve as campaign spokesperson effective Monday, January 6
DES MOINES, IA - Rep. Bruce Braley announced today that Jeff Giertz will serve as communications director for his 2014 US Senate campaign, effective Monday, January 6, 2014.
"Jeff is a smart and capable communicator with deep Iowa roots and years of campaign experience," Braley said. "He's a terrific addition to my campaign team as we work to spread our message of creating jobs, helping small businesses succeed, and fighting for middle class Iowans."
Giertz, a native of the Quad Cities, first worked for Braley during his successful 2006 Congressional campaign and then served as Braley's communications director during his first two terms in Congress until October 2009. After his departure, Giertz worked for US Rep. Charlie Melancon's 2010 bid for US Senate in Louisiana and for the North Carolina Senate Democratic Caucus before returning to work as Braley's communications director in September 2011. Giertz also managed Braley's successful 2012 re-election campaign.
He is a 2005 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Giertz can be reached at jeff@brucebraley.com and (319) 830-6666 (cell).
Bruce Braley was born in Grinnell and grew up in nearby Brooklyn, Iowa. His father, a Marine, fought on Iwo Jima in World War II; his mother was a teacher. Braley worked his way through college and law school building roads and bridges with the Poweshiek County Roads Department and working other jobs. He worked as an attorney for 23 years before being elected to Congress. He knows what it means to be a kid from a working family who just wants the opportunity to succeed. That's why he's running for Senate - to fight to strengthen the middle class, stand up for veterans, provide educational opportunities, and protect the American dream. Braley lives in Waterloo with his wife, Carolyn. They have three children: Lisa, David, and Paul.
