The 2020 camp for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has shifted its focus to the Lone Star State following Sanders' win in New Hampshire Democratic primary Tuesday night.
The campaign announced Wednesday in a news release it’s opening five offices in Austin, Dallas, Houston, McAllen and San Antonio.
Opening events planned at each new office will be free and open to the public.
This announcement comes after the launch of a $5.5 million ad campaign across Texas and other Super Tuesday states, according to the release.
The release also says Sanders' organizing operation is expanding with staff working in Houston, the Dallas-Fort Worth area, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, the Rio Grande Valley, West Texas and the Texas Panhandle.
Bernie 2020 says support in Texas is surging and according to a new Texas Lyceum poll, Sanders is “in a statistical tie for first place amongst the Democratic presidential candidates, and he also leads the Democratic field in a head-to-head matchup with Donald Trump.”
