Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is ramping up his efforts in Texas, with plans to build a state operation that his campaign says will be unrivaled by anyone else in the primary field.
In an announcement first shared with The Texas Tribune, his campaign said it will open a Texas headquarters in Houston and 16 field offices throughout the rest of the state between now and the March 3 primary. The offices will be spread across the Houston area, the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Austin, East Texas, the San Antonio area, El Paso, Laredo, McAllen and the Killeen area.
The campaign also named its first Texas hires:
Carla Brailey, vice chair of the Texas Democratic Party, will serve as Bloombergs senior advisor.
Ashlea Turner, a government relations consultant who worked on Bill Whites 2010 gubernatorial campaign, will serve as Bloombergs state director.
Kevin Lo, who worked on presidential candidate Kamala Harris Iowa campaign before she ended her campaign earlier this month, will serve as Bloombergs organizing director.
Lizzie Lewis, communications director for 2018 gubernatorial nominee Lupe Valdez, will be Bloombergs press secretary.
The moves by Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and billionaire businessman, are the latest developments in a campaign strategy to skip the first early voting states after his late entry into the race and instead focus on the delegate-rich Super Tuesday states, which include Texas.
