After Strong Showing in Ames, Rick Santorum Continues to Build in Iowa

Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania did surprisingly well in the Iowa Republican straw poll held in Ames earlier in the month -- so much so that he is now adding to his team in the Hawkeye State and setting up a new campaign headquarters in Urbandale.

"The outpouring of support we have received since the Ames straw poll has been incredible," Santorum said on Thursday. We're excited that our campaign is growing in enthusiasm and size.The additions of staff, volunteers, and new office space were needed and necessary to run our Iowa campaign operations.I believe our new space will allow our campaign to be the most volunteer-friendly headquarters for our grassroots base. I'm so proud of our team, and I look forward to working with them as we advance toward victory in the caucuses."
