He previously worked for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and the Republican Party of Iowa’s Victory Campaign in 2004. Hunter is originally from Jesup, IA and is a 2001 graduate of the University of Iowa.
“I have worked with Caleb before and I am confident we have selected the right person to guide the Party through the remainder of the election cycle and continue to build the Party towards success in 2008,” stated Iverson.

(DES MOINES) – The Republican Party of Iowa announced today that Tim Albrecht will serve as communications director for the 2008 cycle.
Albrecht, 30, says 2008 will be a positive year for Republicans.
“From races for the Statehouse to the White House, Republicans have a big opportunity this year,” said Albrecht. “The Republican Party of Iowa is putting together a strong slate of candidates and staff, and we will be successful in November.”
Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Stewart Iverson, who yesterday announced that Caleb Hunter will be the party’s new executive director, says Albrecht is another great addition to the team.
“Tim is a tested, proven communications director, and I look forward to working with him as we focus on the fall campaigns,” said Iverson. “He brings a wealth of experience and will be instrumental as we share our conservative message to the voters of Iowa.”
