The 2020 Democratic field is set to descend on Manchester for the state party’s convention on Saturday, where 19 candidates will court voters and earn prime endorsements while speaking for 10 minutes or less.
MANCHESTER, N.H. —
Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, leads in infrastructure, announcing 56 paid staff on the ground and 12 offices in all 10 counties. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren boasts 55 staff, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., 45, each across a headquarters and six field offices. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner in the polls, has 45 staff members across his headquarters and five field offices.
Campaign manager Faiz Shakir said they aim to build the strongest organization in the state and exceed voter turnout expectations, estimating their “aggressive ground operation” has already contacted 35 percent of likely primary voters. “I can only imagine what it's like to be a voter in New Hampshire getting 20-plus calls and door knocks and hearing from everyone," she said."And so we're really focused on making sure that friends are reaching out to friends, and family is talking to family, and co-workers to co-workers.”
The campaign has gone outside the box, holding virtual house parties where Booker conferences into homes, starting a “Justice Academy” leadership program focused on criminal justice, environmental and reproductive rights issues central to Booker's platform, and hosting watch parties of his mayoral race documentary. But the campaign also stresses community service.
