Bloomberg campaign hiring ahead of Pennsylvania primary
Michael Bloombergs presidential campaign has begun hiring dozens of staff members in Pennsylvania, an aggressive move in a late primary state where his chief competitors for the Democratic Partys nomination have inroads.
The campaign, which announced the hirings Wednesday, has brought on about 35 staffers in Pennsylvania and has a goal of hiring more than 90 staffers and opening a dozen campaign offices, the campaigns state director, Kevin Kinross, said.
Were running really a general election campaign right now, Kinross said in an interview. Were on the ground early. ... Michael Bloomberg feels that Donald Trump is basically running unopposed in the key states that are needed to win the White House in November, so were here early, were building the campaign, were building the infrastructure and we plan to compete for votes now.
Former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter is Bloombergs national political chairman, and Bloomberg already has TV commercials running across Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvanias primary election is April 28.
