Democratic U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona is building a team of veterans from successful recent campaigns as he eyes a 2024 run for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s seat.
Gallego announced Thursday that he’s hired two consultants from Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly’s recent reelection victory. The Phoenix Democrat also brought in members of firms that worked on John Fetterman’s Senate win in Pennsylvania and Raphael Warnock’s in Georgia.
“Winning in Ariona will require a team ready to go on day one,” Gallego said in a press release. “We now have a team of Democratic operatives behind the biggest wins of 2022.”
Gallego added Danny Carroll as a finance consultant and Tim Tagaris of Aisle 518 Strategies to lead online fundraising and organizing. They both worked to help Kelly turn back a challenge from Republican Blake Masters.
