Nat’l Consultant Trippi on Gabbard Campaign Payroll

Joe Trippi & Associates, run by the former campaign manager for Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential run, was paid $20,603 by Tulsi Gabbard’s campaign for media buy work.

Trippi emailed supporters following Saturday’s primary victory, saying in part, “Tulsi is one of the best candidates and communicators we have worked for, and her team was as hard working and disciplined as Tulsi.”
