Prior to launching the campaign, Hansen was Block’s top aide at the Wisconsin AFP, where he tapped her to run the Wisconsin Prosperity Network, an umbrella group for the state’s right-wing think tanks and activists. She is also the founder of AFP’s “Prosperity 101” initiative, a staunchly anti-union worker “education” program that Cain has called “a capitalist response to ACORN.”

Hansen is also tapped into the homeschool movement, conservative Christian networks that play a major role in GOP campaign organizations across the Midwest, including in Iowa’s first-in-nation caucuses. Hansen homeschooled her 6 children.
