As the Campaign Manager for Marva Harris Preston's general election campaign to represent the people of Florida Senate District 3, I was primarily responsible for directing the day-to-day and ground operations of a campaign that spanned eleven (11) counties (Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Hamilton, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, and Wakulla) and was nearly four (4) hours or two-hundred (200) miles by car from the City of Port St. Joe in the west to the City of Jasper in the east.Following a resounding win in the Republican Primary, I joined the campaign and oversaw the establishment of the campaign's general election infrastructure. To build out the campaign operation, I started by searching for and selecting a campaign headquarters as well as recruiting and hiring operational campaign staff members to coordinate/schedule campaign events and increase outreach efforts all across the district's eleven counties.While the campaign's efforts ultimately came-up short, we managed to out perform the districts strong Democrat lean (D+21) by receiving super-majorities of up to 78% of the vote in six (6) counties and 60% in one (1) county. Overall, the campaign ended within less than 7% points of a win in a historically Democrat-held seat.
