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."

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.

Moulton campaign overview

Seth Moulton, a Democratic member of the U.S. House representing Massachusetts' 6th Congressional District, suspended his presidential campaign on August 23, 2019.

Before serving in Congress, Moulton was a member of the United States Marine Corps. He served four tours in Iraq between 2003 and 2008 and was among the first groups of American soldiers to reach Baghdad during the 2003 invasion.

While announcing his campaign on Good Morning America on April 22, Moulton said he was not a socialist. "I'm a Democrat. And I want to make that clear. Maybe that's a differentiator in this race," he continued.
