In his second go at the presidency, Mitt Romney's campaign staff are firing on all cylinders to get their man into the White House this time around. 

With the clock ticking down to Election Day, we've compiled a list of four of the campaign's most visible faces, who are leading the charge to get Romney a win in November. Romney's rising superstars and what they're doing to win in November.

With the exception of Romney's senior advisor Eric Fehrnstrom, these high-level staffers represent a clean slate for the former Massachusetts Governor, with no hold-overs from his 2008 loss to Sen. John McCain in the Republican primary. 

These energized leaders not only snagged wins in swing states for the presumptive GOP candidate in a vicious primary earlier this year, but also provide a window on to a dressed-down version of the Republican candidate.

Garrett Jackson, Personal Aide

Jackson rocketed to campaign stardom as "Mitt's Body Man," tweeting out casual, behind-the-scenes remarks and photos of life on the campaign trail.

Jackson tweeted this picture of Ohio Senator Rob Portman and himself caught in the same outfit, adding, "@robportman and I are wearing the same shirt today. The man has good taste" on June 17.

For Jackson, his interest in politics started with golf.

Jackson worked at the Brookhaven Country Club in his hometown, Brookhaven, Mississippi, in high school. Jackson's mother, Jennifer, told their hometown newspaper that "the men who golfed there referred to her son as the 'governor' and told him he was going to be a politician."

There are some golfing perks to his new job, including meeting golf legend Arnold Palmer. He tweeted, "Gov just met with a living legend, Arnold Palmer," on July 17.

Jackson first teamed up with Romney during the candidate's 2010 book tour.

Following his 2009 graduation from Ole Miss, Jackson was hired by Mitt Romney's political action committee, Free and Strong America Political Action Committee before he was tapped to join Romney on tour. 

"I was the young, single guy on the team. So when Romney went on a nationwide book tour they stuck me out on the road with him," Jackson told the Daily Leader in 2011.
