Elizabeth Warren Presidential Exploratory Committee Dec.

- announced
candidacy Feb. 9, 2019.
- suspended
campaign Mar. 5, 2020.
Overview: The Warren campaign had about 1,050 staff
at end. The campaign stands out for a number of reasons
including its strong policy edge (it rolled out over 60 plans
and proposals), its emphasis on organizing (it built large
organizations early in Iowa and NH and had sizable teams on
the ground in the March primary states), and its diverse
staff. Early on the campaign decided it would not
do high dollar fundraisers; the move paid off as it brought in
over $100 million in individual contributions. The
campaign also had a completely in house paid media program,
covering everything from YouTube to billboards to TV ads
produced by the video team. Field organizers were
unionized through a collective bargaining agreement with IBEW
2320 (+).
