Three sources told the Star on Wednesday the MacKay campaign is disorganized and doesn’t have a formal structure, with frustration growing among insiders working on his leadership bid. Rachel Curran, Harper’s former director of policy who worked on Pierre Poilievre’s aborted leadership bid, has also been floated as a possible addition to MacKay’s team. But there are serious “structural challenges” within the campaign, multiple sources said, including no formal organizational hierarchy and a lack of communication from MacKay to the broader team. In a statement to the Star, the MacKay campaign did not address questions about frustration within its ranks. Instead, his spokesperson pointed to MacKay’s fundraising success — the campaign says he’s raised nearly $500,000 so far, with more than 3,000 signatures of support.
