From Manchester, New Hampshire, to Los Angeles, California, Steve served as the liaison between the television networks and each of the presidential campaigns. Steve’s responsibilities included writing format and logistics memos, coordinating debate pre-programs, setting up candidate green rooms, campaign staff offices, spin rooms, media filing centers, campaign visibility areas and student watch parties.
Working closely with senior and traveling staff from each presidential campaign ensured that all the details and logistical movements for the debate were understood. Prior to every debate, Steve briefed each candidate on format, staging and logistical movements unique to that debate.
