The Democratic National Committee’s new leadership team reportedly increased its fundraising staff from 3 to 30, but the staffing boost is yet to have a marked impact on its fundraising results.
Members of the DNC’s new leadership, which was elected in late February, told Minnesota’s Star Tribune this week that they found the committee “in shambles” when they came in, complaining that staff levels were at an all-time low.
“William Hailer, a former [Keith] Ellison aide in Minnesota, found the DNC in shambles when he became a senior adviser to the party early this year,” wrote the Star-Tribune. “Staff levels were at an all-time low, with just three people involved in fundraising. Now the DNC has nearly 30 fundraisers, and Ellison and Hailer expect that will boost campaign contributions.”
The staff increase has done little to improve the DNC’s ledger, according to fundraising figuresreported to the Federal Election Commission since DNC chairman Tom Perez was elected.
