All America PAC Sends 50 Camp Bayh Graduates to
Help Elect Democrats in 2006
PAC Donates Staffers to Campaigns in
IN, IA, NH, NV, and SC

 
Washington, D.C. – Senator Evan Bayh, Honorary Chairman of the All America PAC, announced today that the All America PAC is sending approximately 50 graduates of the Camp Bayh campaign-training program to work on Democratic campaigns across the country.  The Camp Bayh graduates will be working as paid staffers on targeted state, local, and congressional races in Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.

The staffers will be on the ground by the second week in August. This is believed to be the largest staff deployment of any political action committee in either political party this cycle.

“The upcoming elections present a tremendous opportunity to start putting the country back on the right track. These staffers will help Democrats win up and down the ballot and build a solid foundation for future elections,” Bayh said. "The time I spent on my father's campaigns was a pivotal experience in my life and I hope that the Camp Bayh graduates will capitalize on this opportunity and help elect great Democrats in the process."

Before joining their campaigns, the Camp Bayh graduates will participate in an intensive, 4-day interactive training program in Indianapolis.  The training program includes lectures from campaign veterans, as well as Senator Bayh.

All America PAC has trained over 175 Democratic activists, candidates and future political professionals at training sessions in Indianapolis and South Bend earlier this year.
