BERNIE SANDERS EXPANDS HIS IOWA CAUCUS OPERATION
On March 21, 2019
Excerpts:
Senator Bernie Sanders continues to build out his Iowa Caucus team, one that will likely end up as one of the largest of the 2020 field. The campaign tells Starting Line that they have hired Michael Fasullo to serve as their Iowa field director and Tony Anthony as the deputy caucus director.
The two new hires continue a trend for Sanders of building a team with deep experience in organizing progressive communities for left-leaning campaigns. His Iowa operation pulls heavily from three major sources: his 2016 team, the Glasson campaign, and the progressive Iowa issue organization Citizens for Community Improvement.
Fasullo and Anthony will have their hands full with reactivating the extensive Sanders volunteer base. By far the biggest advantage that Sanders begins his Iowa run this time around is the massive volunteer infrastructure that remains from the 2016 cycle.
Sanders already has a base eager to get back to work, as evidenced by Sanders’ big small dollar success right out of the gate and the dozens of local volunteers already manning his initial Iowa trips.
While at his rally in Des Moines two weeks ago, Sanders mentioned they already had over 6,000 volunteers in Iowa signed up. They likely recruited even more at the event, where a sophisticated digital sign-in operation with tablets took in more attendees’ information.
With a sustainable online revenue stream, the Sanders campaign should be able to construct the largest Iowa Caucus field team if they so choose. They shouldn’t have any difficulty filling their field offices with volunteers as soon as they get them set up.
