The staffing addition comes after a disappointing fifth-place finish for Rubio in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday following a rough debate performance over the weekend.

Englander, who is based in Chicago and previously ran Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner's (R) 2014 campaign, managed Paul's White House bid until he dropped out last week after the Iowa caucuses.
