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.
