ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – The Ron Paul Presidential Campaign today announced two key additions. John Tate is now national political director and Mark Elam has joined the team as national media director.
John Tate is a 25-year veteran of Republican politics. He has worked on dozens of local, state and national campaigns, was a key organizer in Pat Robertson’s 1988 presidential bid, and ran for Congress in 1996. Mr. Tate was instrumental in the Paul campaign’s top tier finishes in Nevada and Louisiana.

A group of grassroots political activists took advantage of the holiday shopping rush Friday morning to spread a message about a presidential candidate.
