About O.Kay HendersonO. Kay Henderson is the news director of Radio Iowa.
Kay is a founding member of the Radio Iowa network newsroom. In 1994, she became the network’s news director. She’s a featured reporter and commentator on Iowa Public Television’s “Iowa Press,” and the 2002 recipient of the Shelley Award.
How does someone who never won a campaign get a job heading up the battleground states? Did they look at her resume?
Jen’s “best destiny” is the nuts and bolts of pure field director stuff….she has a definite OCD bent to her, which is manna from heaven in that capacity.
Just keep her away from any kind of policy analysis or empirical thinking role, and she’ll rock!
