Bernie’s Campaign Manager Faiz Shakir Talks Baseball and the Immigrant Experience



Last month, the first potential Jewish President in American history, Bernie Sanders named 39-year-old Muslim, Pakistani-American Faiz Shakir as his campaign manager.

The former editor of Think Progress, Shakir previously worked as a top aide to Harry Reid before taking over as the political director of the ACLU.

The Muslim son of Pakistani immigrants, Shakir doesn’t smoke or drink. His drug of choice is baseball. A skilled baseball player, who still coaches little league today, he was recruited to play baseball at Harvard, where he was the team’s starting second baseman. ...

“The lessons from baseball have been instrumental in how I think about how I manage,” says Shakir. “We gotta have everyone understand their roles and how they are adding to the overall success of the endeavor.”
