Building the Team
In the pre-campaign period, presidential hopefuls had a number of
vehicles for their activity.
Leadership PACs were most common, but some prospects had 501(c)(4)s or
527
organizations. As they near launch of their campaigns,
presidential prospects may establish
exploratory committees, or skip this
step and directly declare their candidacies. Behind the scenes
there is a race for talent, both nationally and in key early
states. The first months of 2019 have seen frequent reports of
hirings and signing
ons as campaign teams are assembled. Typically a campaign team
includes a mix of longtime aides and new people. In recent cycles
Democratic candidates
have often made a point of emphasizing staff diversity as well.
The goal is to assemble a team
of top talent that can work
together effectively to mobilize resources, boost the candidate and his
or her message, and ultimately
secure the party's nomination.
