	Recommendations "Kris is an extremely motivated leader who completes complicated, work-intense projects with exceptional results in a timely fashion. He also has exceptional skills in training and teaching of his subordinates and volunteers." - Chris Jerram, Former County Chair, Douglas County Democratic Party "I have know Kris Pierce and worked with him for the last two years upon his assignment as Executive Director for the Douglas County Democratic Party. Kris is highly motivated and full of much energy. I find him very much to be a "doer". He is good a organizing and completing the follow-through. Because of his efforts we achieve much greater participation and much innovation. Apathy is down and activity is up. Kris deserves many accolades for helping achieve this degree of success. - Jim Suttle, Member of the City Council, Omaha, Nebraska "Kris provided great advice as a political consultant during my time as the Douglas County Treasurer. Kris is dedicated to providing quality service to those who are seeking elected office. Kris is creative in his attempts to help a candidate maximize their appeal with the voting public." - John Ewing, County Treasurer of Douglas County “Kris Pierce is an amazing asset for any organization that aims to connect with and mobilize people on issues or for any other reasons. Kris is creative, detail oriented and can pinch a penny like no other. As the Campaign Director for the 2006 Benson for Congress campaign, I worked very closely with Kris. Even with the deck stacked, Kris built an amazing campaign machine that still exists and has galvanized hundreds of voters across the state of Alaska.” - Jonathan Teeters, Alaska Statewide Organizer, Democratic National Committee “I served as Campaign Chair for the Diane Benson for Congress campaign in 2006, and when I came into the campaign, Kris Pierce was the campaign's Manager. Kris did an amazing job for Diane Benson with limited resources. Political experts in Alaska were uniformly in awe of the job Kris did for Diane. It was a pleasure to work alongside Kris and I truly wish he were still here in Alaska working on a campaign.” - Harriet Drummond, Owner, Drummond Design “Kris brought professionalism to the operations of the Douglas County Democratic Party. Through his efforts the party had a highly successful presidential caucus and helped the Obama campaign win an electoral vote in the 2nd congressional district, the first electoral vote for a Democrat in Nebraska since 1964. I would recommend him as a party executive director or campaign manager.” - Timothy Potter, Board Member, Metropolitan Community College “Kris Pierce is a force of positive energy and contagious enthusiasm that brought western Douglas County into the fold of the County Party. He has been inclusive from the moment I met him. Without his organizational skills and his tireless efforts, I doubt we would be touting our recent benchmarks: caucus turnout, record Democratic registrations, and success at the polls. His personal response to questions and his willingness to work for the overall good of everyone has made for a strong County Party. I look to him for leadership and advice; he has never failed to meet my expectations.” - Mary Caffey, Mayor, Valley Nebraska “Kris, as Executive Director of the Douglas County Democratic Party, is an enthusiastic, hard-working employee. He is full of ideas and novel concepts. Plus he pursues effective execution of those ideas. One of his key responsibilities was fundraising for the Party. He initiated our long-term fund-raising program, a monthly donation program. He started an annual golf tournament that has grown considerably. He was the key person to handle arrangements for our major fund-raising dinner. And there are other examples of his effectiveness in this area as well. Kris coordinated the complex process of the Presidential Caucus in February 2008. The event, mandated by our parent organization, was new to everyone. This process involved siting 13 locations, building enthusiasm, preparing materials and training people to conduct the caucus. That the event was a huge success is a tribute to Kris' effectiveness at getting people to work together to accomplish a major goal. In short, many of the accomplishments of our organization of the last two years can be attributed to the contributions of Kris' work. I would recommend him as an effective contributor to any organization.” - Lanny Munson, Volunteer Coordinator, Douglas County Democratic Party “Kris Pierce is an exceptional Executive Director for the Douglas County Democratic Party. In his position, and more impressively in a busy election cycle, he was able to efficiently handle multiple tasks simultaneously, keep his staff and volunteer corps motivated, assist partner organizations with fundraising, and creatively turn potential problems into opportunities for the party. He did this all remaining positive, encouraging of others, and with enthusiasm.” - Kelly Butts, Director of Development, Southwest 8 Senior Services “Kris is extremely knowlegable and able to get a job done well. He is able to work in a leadership position with a diverse group of personalities and working styles with poise and calm to attain a goal. He is goal oriented and able to achieve on a consistent basis. He is assertative without appearing aggressive and treats his volunteer workers with respect and consideration. He is an asset to the organization.” - Lynne Anderson, Owner, Anderson Prop. Inc. “Kris Pierce is an effective leader who works very well with others. As a member of the Douglas County Central Committee, I am very pleased to recommend his work ethic and work product I have found Kris to be a pleasant, giving person who is not afraid to take on a difficult task. Our party would not have been successful in the caucus, in fundraising or in voter registration without his long hours and attention to detail.” - Maureen Monahan, Attorney at Law, Monahan & Monahan “Kris is a very dedicated executive director for the Douglas County Democratic Party of which I am affiliated as an elected county official. He has brought organization and focus to our party, and moves forward diligently in order to grow the party in a positive manner.” - Diane Battaito, County Register of Deeds, Douglas County “Kris is a very effective leader. His ability to bring people together from differing view points is amazing. He has been able in short order to take a group that was ineffective and mediocre at best, to a level that is now the envy of similar organizations. I think Kris is a difference maker and will be an asset where ever he works.” - Brad Doyle, Business Representative, IBEW 22 “Kris came into the campaign and made the absolute most of what little resources we had. His energy and ability to inspire volunteers were critical to the success of the campaign. I would hire him again if he were available.” - Tony Vita, Treasurer, Diane Benson for Congress “Kris is a very intelligent and astute campaign manager. Although the campaign suffered from lack of support from the national Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and very little support from the State Democratic party, Diane Benson received the highest vote percentage against Don Young since the congressman's first election. Ms Benson did not even get out of the Democratic Primary this year using another campaign manager. I believe Kris can help any viable candidate win an election. He not only brings intelligence, but also excitement and a can do spirit to the campaign.” - Gilbert Lucero, Consultant, Alaska Democratic Party
