Building a National Organization

Like cells in an living organism, campaign organizations grow and evolve. Early on there is an emphasis on fundraising, and finance staff is relatively large. As the months progress, staffs in Iowa and New Hampshire swell. Joe Lieberman's campaign manager Craig Smith states, "What you're doing is you're making up out of whole cloth a national organization with a budget of $25 million, with a staff of 150 people in a year's time." After the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, there will be in a rash of contests in February and early March 2004. A campaign must not wait until the last minute to develop organizations in these states. First steps include announcement of endorsements and establishment of steering committees.

Last update: July 15, 2003. Information in the chart and in the detailed listings is updated fairly regularly, but campaigns do change, some are more disclosive than others, and titles do not always neatly fit.
