Trump-Pence Campaign Announces South Carolina Co-Directors
(Columbia, SC) August 22, 2016 – The Donald J. Trump for
President
campaign today announced that Barbie Norton and Gerri McDaniel have
been named Co-Directors for the general election campaign efforts in
South Carolina.
South Carolina Campaign Chairman Ed McMullen
said, “The extraordinary efforts of these professionals led, in large
part, to Mr. Trump's great success in the February South Carolina
primary, with a 10-percent margin over his closest competitor. Barbie
and Gerri will once again play a pivotal role in organizing volunteers
and reaching record numbers of voters here in South Carolina."
"South
Carolina is an important state for the campaign and voters here clearly
do not want a third Obama term in electing Hillary Clinton. Voters are
tired of the back-room deals and pay-to-play schemes in Washington, and
will vote for change in November," McMullen said.
Barbie will
serve as the Midlands and Upstate Field Director. She was Midlands
volunteer coordinator with responsibility for recruiting volunteers,
phone banking efforts, and for office staffing. She was also
responsible for volunteer training, campaign collateral distribution as
well as managing many of the numerous components of rallies throughout
South Carolina and beyond.
Gerri is a resident of North Myrtle
Beach and will be the Trump Campaign’s South Carolina Coastal Director.
Recently she was involved in the Trump Campaign’s victory in the South
Carolina Republican Presidential Primary as state field director.
Active in local politics, she has served as the public relations
director for the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention, an
officer in the Myrtle Beach Tea Party, and the Horry County Republican
Party, where she helped run regional field offices for SCGOP Victory in
2012 and 2008.
