Campaign staff in context
Campaign staff plays an important role in the presidential primaries. The makeup of a candidate's staff can signal the strength of their support from influential party activists and whether they are aligning with a particular faction or group within the party. Eric Appleman of Democracy in Action describes candidates' efforts to hire staffers as a "race for talent, both nationally and in key early states." He adds, "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."[1]
Presidential candidates will typically have a national staff, which is overseen by a campaign manager and assisted by political consultants, senior advisors, professional polling firms, and key stakeholders such as interest group leaders and major financial supporters. They also build organizations in individual states that are overseen by state directors and staffed by party activists and political professionals well-versed in the particular politics of the area. Candidates often appoint elected officials and other important figures in their party's coalition as chairs of their national campaign and state-level campaigns.[1]
Hurd campaign overview
- See also: Will Hurd presidential campaign, 2024
Will Hurd (R) was a former U.S. Representative from Texas. He officially announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on June 22, 2023.[2] Hurd suspended his campaign on October 9, 2023.[3]
Hurd said the biggest problems facing the country were inflation, immigration without legal permission, crime, and homelessness. In his campaign announcement video, Hurd criticized Joe Biden (D) and Donald Trump (R), saying, "President Biden can't solve these problems, or won't, and if we nominate a lawless, selfish, failed politician like Donald Trump, who lost the House, the Senate, and the White House, we all know Joe Biden will win again." Hurd said his vision for America included increasing employment through the use of new technology like artificial intelligence, improved education access, and fostering a society "that acknowledges science, addresses mental health, and is inclusive and understanding."[4]
Hurd served in the House from 2015 to 2021, representing Texas' 23rd Congressional District. Click here to read more about Hurd's biography.
