A group urging former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, to run for president has snagged top political operatives from South Carolina and Nevada, important early-nominating states.

Boyd Brown, a former South Carolina state lawmaker who represented the Palmetto State on the Democratic National Committee, is set to join the “Draft Beto” campaign as a national senior adviser, according to Politico on Monday. Michael Soneff has also reportedly been recruited by the organization to act as Nevada state director. Soneff previously served as deputy chief of staff for Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragan, D-Calif., before becoming a communications aide to the Nevada State Democratic Party.
