Trump Campaign Manager Builds Out 2020 Leadership Team
Parscale fills top management roles as planning for the 2018 midterm elections and the 2020 reelection campaign begins

NEW YORK, NY – On the first day in his new role as the Campaign Manager of President Trump’s reelection campaign committee, Brad Parscale announced the appointments of top leadership roles, selecting two leaders who have played senior roles in the campaign committee since it was formed in early 2017.

Michael Glassner was newly appointed as the Chief Operating Officer of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. Mr. Glassner was the 2016 Deputy Campaign Manager starting in July of 2015 and has led the President’s campaign committee as the Executive Director since early 2017.

Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump and the President’s daughter-in-law, will serve as a Senior Advisor to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., the President’s reelection committee. Mrs. Trump has coordinated strategic planning and digital communications for the campaign committee since early 2017.

These appointments come as the Trump Campaign builds out its long-term game plan. The campaign plans on being an important entity to help with the 2018 midterm elections including engaging in elections by supporting and endorsing House and Senate candidates, and leveraging President Trump’s vast network of supporters nationwide to encourage them to support candidates and vote. It will also involve building out an effective team for the 2020 reelection campaign.

“I am honored to lead President Trump’s reelection campaign committee as the Campaign Manager and build out a first-class management team that reflects the President’s winning spirit,” said Campaign Manager Brad Parscale. “It is my pleasure to announce the first major appointments to our new leadership team as we build out the 2020 reelection campaign. Michael Glassner has been a valuable asset since the earliest days of the 2016 campaign. He will continue to provide his proven and critical leadership to the campaign as he serves as our Chief Operating Officer.

Lara Trump has led the campaign’s strategic planning and digital communications since early 2017. Her advice and counsel will also be vital as we build a plan for success for the President’s reelection in 2020. I welcome the opportunity to work with two of the President’s most important campaign advisors as we build a winning team and strategy to engage in the midterm elections and then to support the President’s victory in 2020,” Parscale concluded.

Bernie Sanders Heading to Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan on February 22-25, 2018

Bernie Sanders Heading to Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan on February 22-25, 2018

BURLINGTON, Vt. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will attend events in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan next week to rally the midwest in support of strong progressive candidates and against Trump's rightwing agenda. Sanders has vigorously opposed Trump's efforts to throw millions of Americans off of health care and give huge tax breaks to billionaires while budgeting massive cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, education and nutrition.

“First, Trump and his Republican colleagues wanted to throw up to 32 million Americans off of their health care. Then, Trump's tax plan provided the Koch brothers and other billionaires massive tax breaks while driving up the deficit by $1.5 trillion," said Senator Bernie Sanders. “Now, they want to pay for those tax breaks to the rich by slashing Medicare, Medicaid and many other programs desperately needed by working families. We must stand together across this country to not only fight back against Trump's disastrous policies, but to also fight for a progressive agenda that works for all Americans, not just wealthy campaign contributors.”

Sanders will kick off the swing in Chicago on Thursday with a rally in support of Cook County commissioner Chuy Garcia's run for Illinois' 4th Congressional District. He will then head to Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday for a rally with Pete D'Alessandro, former campaign aide and candidate for Iowa's 3rd District race. Sanders will end the day in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he will headline a "Not One Penny" rally alongside community leaders and grassroots activists against Republican tax breaks for billionaires and Trump's reactionary budget. On Saturday, Sanders heads to Racine, Wisconsin, for a rally with Democrat Randy Bryce, who is running in Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District, home to House Speaker Paul Ryan. Sanders will make his final stops in Green Bay on Saturday night and Lansing, Michigan, on Sunday afternoon to rejoin the "Not One Penny" tour.

Delaney Talks Jobs in New Iowa Campaign Ad

Delaney Talks Jobs in New Iowa Campaign Ad
Campaign plans to be on the air for four weeks in Iowa

WASHINGTON – Congressman John K. Delaney’s third campaign spot will air in Iowa tomorrow. The ad titled “Jobs” highlights Delaney’s success as an entrepreneur who created thousands of jobs. Delaney founded and led two-publicly traded companies and is the only former CEO of a publicly-traded company in the House of Representatives. Delaney is a past winner of Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award and his business received the Bank Enterprise Award from the Obama Administration for investing in economically distressed communities.

Earlier this week, Delaney aired two ads “Dirty Word” and “Early” in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids markets. These ads are part of a million-dollar, month-long Iowa television buy from the Delaney campaign, that began on Super Bowl Sunday. Delaney made his sixth campaign trip to Iowa last weekend and has campaigned in 33 counties in Iowa to date. Delaney was named one of the World’s Greatest Leaders by Fortune Magazine in 2017.

The ad’s script:

John Delaney:

There are six million people looking for jobs

Jobs…

Jobs…

Voice over:

Maybe the reason John Delaney likes to talk about jobs so much,

is because he’s created so many of them.

After his father’s labor union scrounged up the money to send John to college,

he built companies dedicated to financing small businesses the big banks ignored…

which helped create jobs.

Thousands and thousands of them.

Hey, if you’re going to run for the biggest job in America,

it helps if you’ve actually created some.

After all

There’s an awful lot of work to be done

How do we bring our country together?

How do we begin to heal a fractured nation?
