Buttigieg expands campaign staff in Nevada

[left-of-center2012]

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) is expanding his presidential campaign’s staff in the early caucus state of Nevada as he seeks to break out of the primary field’s middle tier.

The Buttigieg campaign said in a statement it will have 10 offices open across the Silver State by the middle of October to help add to its 35-member staff there. It announced the hires of Travis Brock, the Nevada Democratic Party’s former executive director, as the campaign’s national director overseeing its caucus efforts, including in crucial early nominating states, and Juan Carlos Perez as national Latinx engagement director, among others.

The announcement comes just before Buttigieg travels to Nevada on Saturday for campaign events in Reno.

Nevada will hold the third nominating contest of the 2020 primaries, behind the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. The state will be a crucial test for each campaign’s support among Hispanics, who make up roughly 30 percent of the state’s population.
