Yang fires dozens of staffers after Iowa debacle
|
[Politico] The Yang campaign insists it had planned to reduce the size of his organization after Iowa. The official wouldn’t specify the number of people who were fired, but the fired staffers said it was in the dozens. According to FEC reports released last week, the Yang campaign had more than 230 people on staff.
"As part of our original plans following the Iowa caucuses, we are winding down our Iowa operations and restructuring to compete as the New Hampshire primary approaches," campaign manager Zach Graumann said in a statement to POLITICO. "These actions are a natural evolution of the campaign post-Iowa, same as other campaigns have undertaken, and Andrew Yang is going to keep fighting for the voices of the more than 400,000 supporters who have donated to the campaign and placed a stake in the future of our country."
The campaign also disputed that the national political and policy directors were "senior" staffers, despite their titles. Spokesman SY Lee said both directors did research and wrote first drafts because they "were not good enough" to have decision-making responsibilities.
"Titles mean different things in different organizations," Lee said.
Former campaign employees who were granted anonymity to speak candidly said many people expected staffing changes after New Hampshire, not Iowa.
One Yang staffer who was cut loose after his Iowa campaign was dumbfounded by the lack of communication.
