Clinton hires Sanders' top student organizer
[link:http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/clinton-hires-sanders-student-organizer-224166|Politico:
Hillary Clinton’s team is moving to shore up an area where she urgently needs help — the campaign has hired Bernie Sanders' director of student organizing to serve as her national campus and student organizing director, a Clinton official confirmed to POLITICO.
Kunoor Ojha is the Clinton campaign’s first major hire from the Sanders campaign, and her move to a role where she will work with the state teams to mobilize young voters represents a significant step in the former secretary of state’s outreach to the Vermont senator’s most ardent backers.
Sanders routinely outperformed her by massive margins among the youngest voting age groups, and Clinton has repeatedly said that she admires Sanders’ strength among that group. The demographic has provided the backbone for Sanders’ support, and his stump speech often directly insists that this kind of support means his campaign represents the future.
