Quite a battle shaping up between Obama and Clinton here in Little Rhody.
Here's the word from the Clinton campaign on its newly announced RI staff:
The Hillary Clinton for President campaign today announced a seasoned team of campaign veterans to lead its Rhode Island efforts leading up to the March 4 presidential primary. Christine Heenhan joins the campaign as Rhode Island's Communications Director, and Roger Lau comes aboard as the State Director. Gina Ormand will serve as the Political Director, and Jennifer Bramley will be the Deputy Communications Director.
The leadership team will run the day to day operations of the campaign in Rhode Island, reaching out to voters across the Ocean State and talking about why Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to deliver real solutions for Rhode Island's working families.
Heenan, who worked in Bill Clinton's White House, is familiar as the founder and president of the Clarendon Group, located a stone's throw away from the Phoenix office in Providence's Jewelry District. And Bramley, with her husband, Bill Fischer, who served as Sheldon Whitehouse's chief of staff when Whitehouse was AG, runs Cranston-based Vision Strategies.
