Steve Schmidt Joins Supporters of Senator McCain in 2008
ALEXANDRIA, VA – U.S. Senator John McCain’s presidential exploratory committee announced today that Steve Schmidt has joined the Senator's team.
Schmidt, who most recently worked as the campaign manager for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's successful re-election bid, will serve as a senior adviser to Senator McCain, should he decide to run for president in 2008.
"Senator McCain is a common sense conservative with a unique brand of leadership that will unite Americans of many different stripes,” said Schmidt. “It will be a great honor to work on behalf of Senator McCain.”
In 2004 Schmidt helped to direct the daily message and response operation for the President’s re-election campaign and was also a member of the campaign’s senior strategic planning group.
“Steve Schmidt’s professionalism, strategic vision and political acumen have brought success to nearly every organization he’s been a part of," said Senator McCain. "I am excited to have him as part of our team."
