Former campaign staffers team up on $20M voter education initiative
Former staffers from the 2016 and 2020 presidential cycles are joining together to launch a voter turnout and education initiative ahead of November amid voter suppression concerns.
The $20 million effort, dubbed iVoteFACTS, was launched by the iVote Civic Education Fund on Friday. The initiative's leaders include former political director for Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) campaign Rebecca Pearcey, former campaign manager for Sen. Cory Booker's (D-N.J.) presidential run Addisu Demissie, and former deputy campaign manager for Pete Buttigieg's campaign Hari Sevugan.
Additionally, the initiative will be led by a number of 2016 campaign alumni, including former communications director for Jeb Bush's 2016 campaign Tim Miller and Hillary Clinton's former chief administration officer, Charlie Baker.
The initiative will inform voters about voting options amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has forced a number of states to rely on alternative voting practices such as vote-by-mail.
