Horton Wilde's Campaign

Will Bailey directs Horton Wilde's congressional campaign for California's 47th district from Mattress World headquarters after Wilde's death. He manages staff including Elsie Snuffin for PSAs, resists White House orders to disband, and frames it as a campaign of ideas fueled by Wilde family funds. Key personnel include Campaign Manager Scott Holcomb, Finance Manager Betsy Wadkins, Communications Director Mark Sterns, Political Director Tom Baker, and Volunteer Coordinator Paula Montgomery. Will publicly announces the team outside Orange County Municipal Building, hosts victory celebrations at the Hyatt after a Democratic win, then steps back to position Sam Seaborn as leader amid reporter scrutiny.
