This comes as the candidate’s fundraising efforts have been slowing down in recent months.
Three of Jeb Bush’s top fundraisers — Kris Money, Trey McCarley, and Debbie Aleksander — unexpectedly left his campaign, Politico reports.
The circumstances surrounding the departure are unclear. The three, who are still working for Bush’s Right to Rise Super PAC, claim that they left voluntarily because of “personality problems.” Others say that they were let go because they weren’t raising enough money.
A spokesperson for the Bush campaign, Tim Miller, told Politico that the governor has “the widest and deeper fundraising operation of any candidate in the field,” and it will remain under the leadership of Ann Herberger, a longtime aide with over 20 years of both state and national political experience.
