election
edition. It shows the
campaign to mid-2016 and reflects my understanding of the organization
to that time. It shows a fair number of the key players on the
national campaign but has many gaps, omissions and deficiencies.
The page is
most
useful on the primary
organizations in the states.

OVERVIEW:
Although
Hillary
Clinton
announced
on April 12, 2015, work at
assembling the campaign team had been going on quietly in the
background for months under the leadership of Robby Mook. Thus
the campaign started off as a very sizable operation,
exceeding staff of all the Republican campaigns and pre-campaigns
combined...
In the
states, the campaign initiated the Ramp
Up
Grassroots
Organizing
Program, a temporary 5-week effort in April and May. The campaign
built large organizations in the four early states. For most of
the later primaries and caucuses it typically opened field offices
about two weeks out from the primary. News reports on June 20 put Clinton's paid
staff at almost 700. Starting at the end of April 2016,
the campaign began to name
state
directors for the general election.

A recurring theme in coverage of Clinton's developing 2016 campaign team is the need learn from mistakes made on the 2008 campaign, which was marked by infighting and "the lack of any clear lines of authority." See: Gail Sheehy. "Hillaryland at War." Vanity Fair. Aug. 2008.
