Williamson lays off entire campaign staff, Castro exits Democratic race by blrshepherd & realchriswilson
Former Housing Secretary and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro dropped out of the Democratic race for president Thursday, and spiritualist author Marianne Williamson laid off her entire campaign staff amid rumors she was close to ending her campaign.
WMUR in Manchester, N.H., reported that Williamson, citing a lack of financial support, had laid off her staff. Sources told the outlet that, at its height, the campaign had a total of approximately 45 paid staffers. Paul Hodes, the candidate’s former state director in New Hampshire, told CBS News he expected Williamson to continue her campaign on her own.
In an interview with Yahoo News this fall, Williamson maintained that her already minuscule campaign apparatus would not suffer as a result of her being left off the debate stage. Despite establishing herself in Iowa, Williamson was unable to raise enough money to compete with her rivals, many of whom were raking in eight-figure sums per quarter. From July through August of last year, Williamson’s campaign raised only $3 million, putting her in the bottom fundraising tier of the primary.
