Former Gov. Rick Perry's (Texas) Iowa chairman is stepping down, delivering another blow to the GOP contender's 2016 presidential bid.
Sam Clovis cited the campaign's financial struggles, noting that he left in part because he is no longer being paid, the Associated Press first reported.
“I feel bad for the campaign and I feel bad for Governor Perry because I think he’s a marvelous human being, he’s a great man and it was my honor to be a part of this, but it was just time to move on,” Clovis later told the Washington Post.
One of Iowa’s most prominent conservatives, Clovis said he has been offered spots on “several” rival campaigns over the last two and a half weeks, and expects to sign on with one of them in the next few days...
...His departure comes after reports earlier this month that Perry had stopped paying campaign staff because of a lack of funds....
