DuHaime assumes top post in McCain campaign

New Jerseyan Mike DuHaime is the new political director for John McCain’s presidential campaign, according to published reports this morning.  DuHaime, the former Executive Director of the New Jersey Republican State Committee, will assume the management of McCain’s political operation following a management shakeup earlier this week. 

He had been campaign manager of Rudy Giuliani’s bid for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.

DuHaime, who started in New Jersey as campaign manager for Anthony Bucco’s successful State Senate race against incumbent Gordon MacInnes in 1997, was Deputy Campaign Manager for Bob Franks’ 2000 U.S. Senate race, and Regional Political Director of George W. Bush’s 2004 re-election bid.  He was the political director of the Republican National Committee in 2005 and 2006.
