Campaign staff in context
Campaign staff plays an important role in presidential elections. 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]

Our democracy is functionally broke[n] under a [two]-party system. The United States should take the lead in engendering peace both at home and abroad." When asked what qualities he possesses that would make him a successful officeholder, Oliver responded, "Empathy for those who live lives different from myself. My willingness to put myself in the shoes of others. I am also adaptable and willing to listen to those who have knowledge that I may not." Click here to read more of Oliver's responses.
