Bush shifts money from TV to ground game before Iowa caucuses
Jeb Bush's campaign cancels a portion of Iowa TV buys and boosts ground operations in January. Staff increases from 11 to over 20 include a Hispanic outreach director as Bush plans January stops in Iowa City Grinnell Des Moines and Ankeny. Aimed at a stronger finish despite low polling, the move follows heavy TV spending and competition with Cruz Trump and Carson. The campaign will deploy 60 staffers from Miami with about 10 to Iowa, and a pro Bush Super PAC reserves over 19 million in ads for early states.
