- Read this and do what these people do.
The story lists the people from Texas - political professionals - who are working with the various 2016 campaign, declared or undeclared.
These are the staffers and advisers — listed by the candidate they're working for — who wield enormous power in the day-to-day mechanics and strategy of each 2016 bid. Some were reared in Texas and now live on the East Coast or are on the campaign trail. Others on this list may not be Texans by birth but are established figures here who spent at least a decade building their names in Lone Star circles.
