Eyeing nomination, Clinton campaign expands general election team

In yet another sign Hillary Clinton is looking past rival Bernie Sanders and on to a general election against Donald Trump, the former Secretary of State is adding and promoting staff at her national headquarters in New York.

While Clinton last week was preparing to hire staffers in the battleground states that will be most competitive in November, the new additions bolster the Clinton campaign’s brain trust at her national headquarters in Brooklyn.


Longtime Clinton aide Marlon Marshall will run the campaign’s battleground team out of the Brooklyn headquarters as director of states and political engagement. The campaign’s director of primary states, Brynne Craig, was promoted and will also serve as chief of staff of the campaign’s states and political engagement team, the campaign official said.

Michelle Kleppe, who was Clinton’s organizing director for the Iowa caucus and is a veteran of the 2012 and 2008 Obama campaigns, will serve as Clinton’s national organizing director.
Joining the campaign are Meg Ansara, who will become battleground states director and previously worked as regional director on Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign; and Addisu Demissie, described as a veteran of presidential and regional campaigns, who will work as a senior staff member in Clinton’s states and political engagement department, the official said.

as risky and a “loose cannon.”

That's good.. "loose cannon" because that negates all the crap he piles on her as just Loose cannon talk.

Can you believe it .. trump is going to be getting national security press reports soon.. like mitt did 4 years ago.

So happy to hear about the Obama Veterans joining Hillary's staff to win this thing!
