John McCain is staffing up in North Carolina.
The Republican presidential candidate has moved his first staffers into his Raleigh campaign office in the basement of the state Republican Party headquarters.
Ryan Tronovitzch, who previously worked for U.S. Rep. David Davis just over the border in Tennessee, is now working for a Victory 2008, joint effort by the Republican Party and the McCain campaign.
He will be assisting Mario Diaz, who had been working the entire Southeast from an office in Tallahassee, Fla.
He told Dome this afternoon that the office now has three people.
"We're just getting staffed up," he said.
Correction: An earlier version of the post misstated Tronovitzch's position.
