The Republican National Committee announced it is expanding its staff significantly in battleground states across the country and will have finished the hiring process in 2023, before the 2024 election year begins.
By the end of 2023, the RNC will have hired political staff in 15 different states, all home to competitive House and Senate races. The states will also each have an election integrity director in place ahead of the election year.
“The Republican Party is building an infrastructure to not only defeat Joe Biden but deliver key victories up and down the ballot in 2024. With a focus on not just presidential, but House and Senate battlegrounds, our political and election integrity hires are laying the groundwork to ensure we have aggressive voter contact and litigation strategies in place to win elections and hold Democrats accountable for bad laws that make voting less secure,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement.
Some of the states being outfitted with additional infrastructure include traditional battleground arenas, as well as New York, California, and Montana.
