Work on Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign

edit

Mitch Stewart directed Obama's campaign in Iowa,[1] where the candidate's first place win established him as a serious challenger to then front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

He later headed the campaign's Virginia operation.[2] Virginia also went for Obama, the first time in many years that the state's delegates went to a democratic presidential candidate.

Director of Organizing for America

edit

On January 23, 2009, it was announced that Mitch Stewart would serve as the first Director of Organizing for America.[3]

Organizing for America was formed out of Obama's national campaign organization after the inauguration. It will be housed at DNC headquarters.[4] The organization's mission is to mobilize Obama supporters to elect other candidates and lobby for the president's agenda.[5]
