New Iowa GOP Party Chair and Ambassador Luis CdeBaca

Join host Ben Kieffer as he talks with A.J. Spiker, the new chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa.  We’ll hear about Spiker’s priorities as well as his reaction to the controversial caucus in which Mitt Romney was initially declared the winner by eight votes but the vote certification showed Rick Santorum actually won by 34 votes.  Then, Ben talks with Ambassador Luis CdeBaca, President Obama’s appointee to direct the State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.  CdeBaca is a native of Huxley, Iowa and a graduate of Iowa State University.  He spoke at Iowa State University earlier this week.
