Jeb Bush Makes Surprise Pick for Political Director
Source: Wall Street Journal
For the second time in less than two weeks, Jeb Bush is shuffling the top tier of his 2016 campaign staff.
The job of political director – expected to go to Kentucky-based consultant Scott Jennings – will instead be filled by David James, who served as a senior adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. He has also worked at the Republican National Committee and helped lead the Pennsylvania Republican Party.

Mr. Jennings, who advised Mr. Romney’s 2012 campaign and George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, will work with Mr. James and serve as a senior political adviser, according to Tim Miller, a spokesman for Mr. Bush.
The shift in staffing comes just four days after Mr. Bush officially launched his campaign in Miami and 11 days after he decided to name Danny Diaz as his campaign manager. That job was expected to go to Iowa-based consultant David Kochel, who will instead serve as chief strategist.
