## Campaign staff in context[edit]

Campaign staff plays an important role in presidential elections. The makeup of a candidate's staff can signal the strength of their support from influential party activists and whether they are aligning with a particular faction or group within the party. Eric Appleman of Democracy in Action describes candidates' efforts to hire staffers as a "race for talent, both nationally and in key early states." He adds, "The goal is to assemble a team of top talent that can work together effectively to mobilize resources, boost the candidate and his or her message, and ultimately secure the party's nomination."[1]

Presidential candidates will typically have a national staff, which is overseen by a campaign manager and assisted by political consultants, senior advisors, professional polling firms, and key stakeholders such as interest group leaders and major financial supporters. They also build organizations in individual states that are overseen by state directors and staffed by party activists and political professionals well-versed in the particular politics of the area. Candidates often appoint elected officials and other important figures in their party's coalition as chairs of their national campaign and state-level campaigns.[1]

## Stein campaign overview[edit]

See also: Jill Stein presidential campaign, 2024

Jill Stein was a Green Party activist and physician who previously ran as the Green Party presidential nominee in 2012 and 2016. Stein announced her candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on November 9, 2023.[2] The Green Party selected Stein as its presidential nominee on August 17, 2024, at the Green National Convention. Stein selected Butch Ware as her running mate on August 16, 2024.[3]

Stein focused her campaign on environmental, economic, and foreign policy issues. Stein said she would declare a climate emergency on the first day of her presidential administration and enact a Green New Deal policy that would transition the U.S. off of fossil fuels by 2035 and create union jobs. In her nomination acceptance speech, Stein said she supported Medicare for All, increasing affordable housing, and making it easier for individuals seeking entry into the United States to get work permits. On foreign policy, Stein said, "[the United States'] absolutely toxic, over-the-top militarism is destroying us from within. It is not only impoverishing us here at home, it is also endangering us and the rest of the world. The crisis of the genocidal war against Gaza is, in many ways, a microcosm of U.S. empire, and to fix the crisis in Gaza we must also address the empire."[4][5]
