Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement released Wednesday that the "battle-tested operatives" would help bolster the campaign’s efforts, helping in various capacities.
"I’m thrilled to have these battle-tested operatives join our team. This is a team with unparalleled expertise, creativity, and grit that will be critical to winning this November," said Rodriguez. "We’re excited that Alana – a seasoned Biden-Harris operative – will lead our political operation. She is a proven and trusted leader who knows the importance of mobilizing the Biden-Harris coalition, and will be masterful at leading our political efforts."
Campaign general counsel Maury Riggan offered similar praise. "Meredith will be an invaluable asset to lead our voter protection and access program. Her expertise will spearhead the essential role our campaign will have in protecting every American’s fundamental right to participate in our democracy – especially critical, as MAGA Republicans openly embrace election denialism and work relentlessly to restrict the right to vote."
