Biden Campaign Announces Ballot Access Team As 2024 Operation Grows (Exclusive)
Joe Biden’s reelection campaign announced its ballot access team on Monday, tapping two political veterans to lead the effort to get the president and Vice President Kamala Harris on the ballot in all 57 states and territories.
The announcement begins Biden's political organizing work in earnest and is the latest sign that the president's once-shoestring operation is starting to ramp up, with all aides working for the 2024 bid expected to be working from the campaign’s Wilmington, Delaware headquarters by Labor Day.
Alana Mounce, the former executive director of the Nevada Democratic Party and a veteran of campaigns in the critical battleground state, will work as ballot access director for the Biden campaign. Mounce, who most recently worked as deputy political director in the White House’s Office of Political Strategy and Outreach and before that as political director at the Democratic National Committee, has worked for the last three Democratic presidential nominees, including helming Biden’s 2020 campaign in Nevada.
Varoon Modak, who currently works as counsel in Elias Law Group's Political Law practice, will work as general counsel for the ballot access effort. Modak and the team at Elias’ practice advise an array of Democratic candidates, elected officials, and organizations, and is widely seen as one of the premier law firms working on behalf of Democratic clients.
