DODD ANNOUNCES NEW HIRES IN POLITICAL DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON -- Senator and Presidential Candidate Chris Dodd announced that three seasoned campaign veterans have joined his campaign. Jennifer Tuttle, Antwaun Griffin and Mat Pierson will serve in the campaign's political department.
"Chris Dodd's message of proven leadership is attracting an effective, experienced and energetic team," said Dodd Campaign Political Director Scott Arceneaux. "Adding these three seasoned professionals boosts our efforts in three important early primary and caucus states."
"Jennifer Tuttle helped pull off one of the biggest surprises in the 2006 election when she unseated an entrenched incumbent. Her knowledge of what it takes to win Iowa will be invaluable," said Dodd campaign Iowa State Director Marc Beltrame. Tuttle will head the Iowa desk in Washington.
"Antwaun Griffin's experience throughout the country, and particularly in the South, lends another valuable addition to Senator Dodd's already strong campaign team in South Carolina," Arceneaux said. Griffin heads the Dodd campaign's South Carolina desk in Washington.
"Mat Pierson's extensive work in field organizing is going to be essential to Senator Dodd's New Hampshire campaign, and his knowledge of the delegate selection process is a great catch for the campaign," said Dodd campaign Senior Advisor Maura Keefe. Pierson moves from the campaign's operations department to the New Hampshire political desk in Washington.
"Many political watchers have already concluded that Senator Dodd is building a strong team," Arceneaux said. "Adding such experienced talent to the political department is another step in building a winning organization."
