Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has hired five additional senior staffers to her presidential campaign, including a state director in New Hampshire just before her second trip there, Gillibrand's campaign told POLITICO.

Gillibrand will make stops in Hanover, Keene, Dover and Exeter this weekend on her return to the first primary state. The New York Democrat, who launched a presidential exploratory committee in January, has appeared in three of the four states with early 2020 nominating contests so far.

The new additions to Gillibrand’s campaign are Semedrian Smith, national political director; Danielle Duffy, chief operating officer; Gavrie Kullman, digital finance director; Pat Devney, New Hampshire state director; and Shannon McLeod, New Hampshire political director.

Smith was the deputy campaign manager for Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown’s reelection campaign in 2018 before joining Gillibrand's 2020 team. Duffy, who spent nearly a decade working in the nonprofit world, also served as the director of operations for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's independent expenditure unit in 2008.
