GOP Governor Picks Democratic Spokesman

Republican Gov. Terry Branstad’s new press secretary is a longtime registered Democrat who supported Colorado Sen. Gary Hart for President.

Vohs, 35, said his affiliation “didn’t really seem to bother the governor, and it didn’t seem to bother me. I’ve been more of a person person than a party man.”
