Team MOGOP Hires Data Director for Field Program in 2018

As the latest in a series of new hires, the Missouri Republican Party is excited to welcome Missouri native Jon Harder as its Data Director for the MOGOP Field Program in 2018.

Raised on a farm in Knox County, Jon has seen firsthand the damage Senator Claire McCaskill has done to rural Missouri and is deeply committed to holding her accountable in 2018. Jon also has an impressive background working with state and federal elected officials, including State Senator Brian Munzlinger, Speaker Todd Richardson, and U.S. Congressman Billy Long. Additionally, Jon oversaw voter turnout operations in central Missouri during Senator Roy Blunt’s successful 2016 reelection campaign and later interned for Senator Blunt.

“Jon has an incredible grasp of data analysis and voter targeting that will be critical to victory in 2018,” said Alex Meyer, RNC State Director for Missouri. “With his political talent and passion for firing Claire, Jon is a double-threat, so we’re thrilled to have him on board as we continue to build our team.”
