Hillary for America

Headquarters: 1 Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn Heights, NY, occupying two floors of the building.

Attn: This page is the primary election edition. It shows the campaign to mid-2016 and reflects my understanding of the organization to that time. It shows a fair number of the key players on the national campaign but has many gaps, omissions and deficiencies. The page is most useful on the primary organizations in the states. For a more complete look at the national organization, albeit from Fall 2016, please link to/see the general election edition.





OVERVIEW: Although Hillary Clinton announced on April 12, 2015, work at assembling the campaign team had been going on quietly in the background for months under the leadership of Robby Mook. Thus the campaign started off as a very sizable operation, exceeding staff of all the Republican campaigns and pre-campaigns combined. .. In the states, the campaig n initiated the Ramp Up Grassroots Organizing Program, a temporary 5-week effort in April and May. The campaign built large organizations in the four early states. For most of the later primaries and caucuses it typically opened field offices about two weeks out from the primary. News reports on June 20 put Clinton's paid staff at almost 700. Starting at the end of April 2016, the campaign began to name state directors for the general election.
