Former Campaign Manager for Sen. Rand Paul to manage Messer’s U.S. Senate campaign
Indianapolis, IN – Less than two weeks since Rep. Luke Messer announced his campaign for U.S. Senate in front of hundreds of supporters in Morristown, the campaign is taking shape. The campaign will be co-chaired by Jim Kittle, Greg Pence and Jennifer Hallowell. Kittle previously served as the Chairman of the Indiana Republican Party and as the Finance Chairman for Vice President Mike Pence’s gubernatorial campaign. The Vice President’s brother, Greg Pence, previously served as Messer’s Finance Committee Chairman and has taken on additional leadership responsibilities. Hallowell is a former Executive Director of the Indiana Republican Party and has worked on several local, state and national Republican campaigns.
Greg Pence said, “We are growing this campaign because it is so important we send Luke Messer to the United States Senate. Luke is a proven conservative leader who can accomplish big things and that’s exactly what we need in the U.S. Senate.â€
The new “I Like Luke†Finance Chairman is Central Indiana business leader Doug Rose. Rose has been active in many state and national campaigns and he will lead the finance committee which includes more than forty leaders from across the state. Additionally, Jenna Knepper, who worked on the campaigns for Senator Todd Young, Secretary of State Connie Lawson and former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, will serve as the Statewide Grassroots Chair for the campaign.
Messer also announced hiring Chasen Bullock as the Campaign Manager. Chasen was the Campaign Manager for Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, worked on the Rand Paul for President campaign and has managed multiple congressional races around the country.
Messer stated, “Our team is going to be focused on the things that matter. Hoosiers deserve a United States Senator who will vote with them 100% of the time. I’m running for Senate because I want to advance the Trump-Pence agenda to repeal and replace Obamacare, secure our border, cut back on overly burdensome regulations, and bring jobs and investments back to America.â€
The Messer campaign also released its first video advertisement that features highlights from the August 12th campaign kick-off. The video will be promoted online in the coming days and can be accessed here.
