In late January 2015, Scott Walker set up a 527 organization called Our American Revival.[1] The organization has leased space at 2775 86th St. in Urbandale, Iowa, which is also known as the GOP's Des Moines Victory Office.[2] Mitt Romney used the same location for his 2012 Iowa presidential campaign.[3]
State Senators Brad Zaun, Randy Feenstra, Dan Zumbach, and Tom Shipley pledged their support to Walker’s OAR team.[4]
OAR coordinated and paid for Walker's extensive travel around the country, including a number of visits to Iowa and New Hampshire.[5]
