Scott Walker, the Republican who leads the presidential pack in Iowa polling, is the first of the 2016 White House aspirants to open an office here.

A political organization created by Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, has leased the space at 2775 86th St. in Urbandale – an office with a storied Republican political history.

The strip-mall storefront, located behind a Panera Bread cafe, has been occupied over the years by campaigns for Terry Branstad for governor, Tom Latham for Congress, Bill Northey for agriculture secretary and other Iowa races as part of GOP Victory efforts. In 2012, it headquartered Michele Bachmann's team for the Iowa caucuses and Mitt Romney's general election campaign. It was John McCain and Sarah Palin's Midwest regional campaign headquarters in 2008.

Walker's Our American Revival 527 organization has claimed it for 2016.


Iowans noticed action from Team Walker at the building and told The Des Moines Register. Aides for Walker's political organization confirmed to the Register the office is now open. ..............
