Iowa native Derek Flowers is the executive director of Crossroads Generation.
It’s doing $50,000 in online ads targeted at young swing voters in eight key states: Iowa, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia.
The PAC, with $750,000 in startup money, will also do a new website and video atwww.CrossroadsGeneration.com, Twitter feed (@CrossroadsGen), and Facebook effort (www.Facebook.com/CrossroadsGeneration).
