Bachmann hires former top Huckabee staffer
From Mark Zdechlik:
Rep. Michele Bachmann's political action committee has hired Wes Enos, the Iowa political director for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee when he ran for president in 2008.
Bachmann chief of staff Andy Parrish confirmed Enos will serve as a consultant to Bachmann's MichelePAC. Bachmann is weighing a bid for the 2012 GOP nomination. She has made numerous visits to early nominating states.
Enos, of Bondurant, IA, helped Huckabee win Iowa's precinct caucuses. Referencing the Enos hire, Parrish told MPR News, "The more money we raise, the more help we need."
Bachmann raised $2.2 million for her congressional campaign and political action committee in the first three months of this year.
