Work on Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign
Mitch Stewart directed Obama's campaign in Iowa, where the candidate's first place win established him as a serious challenger to then front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

He later headed the campaign's Virginia operation. Virginia also went for Obama, the first time in many years that the state's delegates went to a democratic presidential candidate.

Director of Organizing for America
On January 23, 2009, it was announced that Mitch Stewart would serve as the first Director of Organizing for America.

Organizing for America was formed out of Obama's national campaign organization after the inauguration. It will be housed at DNC headquarters. The organization's mission is to mobilize Obama supporters to elect other candidates and lobby for the president's agenda.
