Susie Wiles, Jon Huntsman's Campaign Manager, Resigns

Susie Wiles is leaving her post as campaign manager for Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, the Washington Post reports.

Wiles ran Florida Governor Rick Scott's (R) campaign during the 2010 election season. According to the Miami Herald, she said on Thursday that "it was just time" for her to depart her job with Huntsman's political operation.

"I signed up to get it started," Wiles explained, the Herald reports. "It?s like a phase. This morning I said it?s time to move on."

Wiles will reportedly be replaced by Matt David, who currently serves as communications director for Huntsman.

CNN reports that Senior Campaign Adviser John Weaver addressed the shake up in a statement. "Susie has served the campaign well and was vital in getting it off the ground in such a short time-frame," he said. "Now the campaign is moving into phase two which will be more aggressive from a messaging and tactical standpoint and Matt is prepared to take that on."

Huntsman formally announced his candidacy for president of the United States last month. Earlier this year, he resigned as President Barack Obama's U.S. ambassador to China.
