With 80 days until the US presidential election, Donald Trump has begun building his field operation in Kansas, reports The Lawrence Journal-World.
The Republican presidential candidate has hired a full-time state coordinator and opened an office in Wichita to coordinate his efforts in the Sunflower State. The operation is known as “Trump Team Kansas.” Trump’s campaign sent out emails Wednesday asking for volunteers to help with the effort.
Trump hired Carly Couture to manage the Kansas campaign. Couture is the wife of former state Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady, a Republican from Palco. Couture-Lovelady resigned his post in the house earlier this year to take a job as a lobbyist with the National Rifle Association.
News of the Kansas operation was announced one day after Trump decided to overhaul his national operation, hiring two new top officials and demoting campaign manager Paul Manafort.
