The memo maps out the campaign's strategy aimed at obtaining the 2,000 delegates needed to secure the nomination, with a particular focus on the later states in the primary.

"The four early states contests are just the beginning," Warren's campaign manager, Roger Lau, wrote in a memo to supporters. "Starting last fall, we began putting staff on the ground in critical Super Tuesday states like California and Virginia, talking with voters and building support for Elizabeth Warren's candidacy."

However, Lau said the campaign plans to maintain its staff and office presence in Iowa after next month's caucuses. Lau said that the campaign had momentum needed to win the general election in mind as the reasoning for sustaining staff.

"For states that will be part of Elizabeth Warren's path to victory in the Electoral College, it's especially critical that we don't lose momentum or stall the infrastructure after the primary has passed when we have a chance to keep building for the even bigger contest in November," Lau said.

Lau also pointed to the campaign's "robust staff footprint" in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. He specifically touted the more than 1,000 campaign staff members across the country in 31 states and Washington, D.C.

The memo comes as Warren has plateaued in a number of polls out of Iowa and New Hampshire and has since been overshadowed by fellow progressive Sen.
