Source: Roll Call
Amanda Renteria, the former Capitol Hill aide who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2014, is poised to be named the national political director of Hillary Rodham Clintons likely presidential campaign, according to two sources with knowledge of the move.
Renteria, reached by phone, declined to comment on the gig Thursday afternoon, but she said, Im thinking a lot about whats next.
The position would put her toward the top of Clinton campaigns hierarchy and assures Renteria will not take a second run for Californias 21st District, a top target for House Democrats in 2016.
