O'Rourke Will Base Campaign In El Paso

March 14, 2019 at 9:29 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Beto O’Rourke told the El Paso Times that his presidential campaign will be headquartered in El Paso and those who want to join his team will have to move to the border city.

“But he also said he would no longer swear off hiring consultants, giving an example of a single mother in the Dallas area who was unable to join his Senate campaign because it would have required her to close her business.”

Said O’Rourke: “My preference is to find people who can move to El Paso and work on this campaign full time, but in order to get the breadth of experience and wisdom and diversity that we really need in a campaign that will look like everyone, I want to remain open to different employment situations. It doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker, but it will ensure that I get the greatest talent possible.”
