by Alex Samuels, Texas Tribune
Pete Buttigieg is quickly ramping up campaign activity in Texas after strong finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, sending two dozen staffers to the Super Tuesday state.
The 24 staffers start Monday and will help volunteers already on the ground, his campaign told The Texas Tribune. The Texas ramp-up is part of a broader expansion across the delegate-rich states that vote March 3.
We are building the campaign that will not only win this nomination but will defeat Donald Trump in November, said Samantha Steelman, the campaigns organizing director for Super Tuesday states.
