Rubio Campaign Announces South Carolina Grassroots Leadership Team

Today, the Marco Rubio for President campaign is excited to announce growing grassroots support from across The Palmetto State. Coming off a winning debate performance on Saturday night, momentum for Marco is growing and more South Carolinians are rallying behind Marco and supporting his vision for a New American Century.

"Our team is strongly encouraged by the growing grassroots support for Marco Rubio in South Carolina," said Katie Baham Gainey, South Carolina State Director for Marco Rubio for President. "At Saturday night's debate, Marco showed that he is a tough, well-prepared leader who can unite the Republican party, grow the conservative movement, and win in November.

Marco will be working extremely hard over the next six days to earn the support of voters across the Palmetto State, and our strong organization of grassroots supporters on the ground will play an important role in the closing days of this election"
