Refinery 29 ^ | March 21, 2019 | Natalie Gontcharova

The Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign has announced 15 new hires in key positions, 10 of whom are women. This comes on the heels of the campaign hiring four key Iowa staffers and three 2016 veterans in New Hampshire last week.

The campaign says that now, every single one of its teams — management, political, policy, organizing, communications, advance, digital, and fundraising — has women, and predominantly women of color, in leadership positions. Overall, the national leadership team is around 70% women.

The women coming on board include: René Spellman, deputy campaign manager, a Bernie 2016 alumna who has worked in the Obama White House; Analilia Mejia, political director, a union organizer who was honored by President Obama as a "Champion of Change"; Sarah Badawi, deputy political director, previously the legislative affairs director for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee; Claire Sandberg, national organizing director, a Bernie 2016 alumna and previously the deputy campaign manager for Abdul El-Sayed's gubernatorial run in Michigan; Dr. Heather Gautney, deputy director of policy, formerly a senior policy advisor on the U.S. Senate Budget Committee and a researcher for Bernie 2016; Arianna Jones, communications director, a Bernie 2016 alumna with experience leading media strategy for progressive clients; Sarah Ford, deputy communications director, a Bernie 2016 alumna who served as the communications director for Cynthia Nixon's 2018 gubernatorial campaign in New York; Briahna Joy Gray, national press secretary, a former attorney and senior politics editor at The Intercept; Georgia Parke, senior social media strategist, who worked in Sen. Sanders' Senate office since 2016; and Robin Curran, digital fundraising director, formerly the email director at the Democratic National Committee.

“Binders” of women.

Remember when Mitt said that?

The only place I care about the sex of the new hires is jobs where the sex matters, e.g. Mustang ranch.

I can’t believe Pelosi will let him on the ticket as a democrat. They made that mistake already.

Bernie will do just what he did last time: stick around long enough to keep the young’uns interested then bail when the party wants him gone, taking with him a nice fat check to buy himself yet another vacation home.

Gotta get with it, Bernie. How many are illegal? How many are gay? How many are black, white, brown, green and purple? How many are soccer moms vs. CEOs? How many are high school drop outs vs. degreed?

Was one his wife? You know the one who did this:

“The Vermont power couple has become the focus of a federal investigation into whether Jane O’Meara Sanders committed bank fraud as president of Burlington College and whether Mr. Sanders‘ office played a role.”
