James Pindell scoop: Democratic 'out gay male' staffing up to take on Sen. Kelly Ayotte
WMUR’s James Pindell, back from his two-week “sabbatical,” discovered a couple of interesting ads on the Roll Call jobs board today:
Democratic Senate Finance Director
New England Democratic US Senate Candidate, who will formally launch a campaign early in 2016 to unseat a Republican incumbent, seeks an Experienced Finance Director to hit the ground running in early January. Campaign has ambitious plans to set new fundraising records in the 2016 cycle…
Democratic LGBT-Focused Deputy Finance Director
Polished, articulate, highly competitive New England Democratic US Senate Candidate, who will formally declare his candidacy in January, seeks a Deputy Finance Director to manage his national fundraising efforts in the LGBT community. … Join our team and help elect the nation’s first out gay male US Senator and turn the Senate Blue once again in 2016.
“[E]yebrow raise of the week,” tweeted Pindell. “Which NH Dem is already hiring for 2016 #nhsen?”
Most speculation over who will take on Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte in 2016 has focused on Gov. Maggie Hassan. “But it’s unclear at this early stage if the governor is interested in doing so,” notes John DiStaso.
Soon after Pindell’s tweets hit the web, the two ads were removed from the Roll Call site.
