Ron Paul Campaign Announces Two Additions to Leadership Team

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ron Paul Presidential Campaign today announced two key additions. John Tate is now national political director and Mark Elam has joined the team as national media director.

John Tate is a 25-year veteran of Republican politics. He has worked on dozens of local, state and national campaigns, was a key organizer in Pat Robertson’s 1988 presidential bid, and ran for Congress in 1986. Mr. Tate was instrumental in the Paul campaign’s top tier finishes in Nevada and Louisiana.

Mark Elam is a veteran Texas political consultant and a long-time aid to Dr. Paul. Mr. Elam serves as campaign manager to Dr. Paul’s congressional re-election campaign. In 1996, Mr. Elam directed Dr. Paul’s historic victory of Democrat-turned Republican Greg Laughlin in the district 14 congressional race.

“John Tate and Mark Elam bring tremendous leadership and expertise to our campaign,” said Dr. Paul. “Their addition to our management team will help catapult us to even greater heights of success.”

Does it look like Ron Paul is gearing up for a 3rd party run or what? I mean adding staffers this late in the game..

This sounds like the types of additions we've all been hoping for. I hope these guys are good.

I don't think it looks like a 3rd party run... It looks like Ron is doing what he's planned to all along.

It isn't late in the game till after Feb. 5th. I understand where Dr. Paul is going with this. In fact I think he even said it before. He's going for a brokered convention.

What we need to overcome and rather fast is 1) the "he can't win the nomination" nonsense and 2) the 3rd party false hope. It's either all in or never. If that changes later fine, but right now this is where it's at. It actually looks to me like he's doing a few things that were given to him as advice by others in the grassroots.

It also looks like he's tired of being pushed around, so now he's going to get advisers to do some pushing back for him. He can focus on the debates, the media advisor can take care of the media.

I've heard Bradley in DC mention that Mark Elam should be in charge.

Good to see it happening.
