GOP frontrunner Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he has hired California GOP strategist Tim Clark to head his California campaign.

Clark, who has more than 20 years of experience in Republican politics, said, “This is an exciting time for the Republican Party.”

He continued, “Donald Trump’s message of fiscally sound government, restored economic prosperity, and strong national security is reenergizing our Party’s conservative base.”

“We have a very important job to do in California,” Clark added. “By harnessing the excitement surrounding Mr. Trump’s candidacy, it’s our intention to deliver one-hundred and seventy-two delegates for Trump to the national convention.”

Trump stated, “I am pleased to bring Tim on board to organize what is a very important state. I know he will be an asset to the team and ultimately deliver a win in California.’’
