Democrat Marianne Williamson lays off entire campaign staff

Marianne Williamson, who has been campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination on a “message of love” and has been urging voters to “join the evolution,” has laid off her entire staff campaign staff.

Former Rep. Paul Hodes of New Hampshire, who served as a top adviser for Williamson and as her state director in the first primary state, said “I wish Marianne well going forward.”

You would think that having zero staff would mean that her campaign was winding down. However, Williamson denied that was the case, telling supporters that she was “not suspending my candidacy”.

Williamson acknowledged the layoffs in an email to supporters Thursday night, writing, “We’ve had a wonderful team, and I am deeply grateful for their energy and talents. But as of today, we cannot afford a traditional campaign staff. I am not suspending my candidacy, however; a campaign not having a huge war chest should not be what determines its fate. The point of my candidacy has been to tell the heart’s truth and that does not cost money,” she said. “Forging a new path for campaigns is going to be necessary if we’re ever to forge a new path for our country.”

Now ex-campaign manager Patricia Ewing said: “Marianne Williamson has run an extraordinary campaign. We are all proud to have worked for her.”

At her height, Williamson had about 45 staffers nationwide. But that number has been dwindling for some time and she had just two staffers left in New Hampshire.

The longshot contender had struggled with fundraising and failed to qualify for the most recent Democratic presidential debates.

Williamson has been an unconventional candidate who preaches the politics of love. She has emphasized “six pillars for a season of moral repair,” including economic justice. She proposed creating a Department of Children and Youths and Department of Peace, and has pushed for reparations for the descendants of African-American slaves.
