Related: About this forumHillary Clinton’s Team Is Helped by Former Obama Adviser
President Obama on staff. But her team, based in Brooklyn, has also been quietly advised in recent weeks by a prominent and well-respected veteran of Mr. Obamas team with has deep knowledge of organizing in primary states.
Jennifer OMalley Dillon, who was Mr. Obamas deputy campaign manager, has been informally advising Marlon Marshall, Mrs. Clintons director of state campaigns, two people briefed on the discussions said. Mrs. Clintons campaign is primarily focused on the first four states in the Democratic nominating fight, according to two people familiar with her work, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the campaign.
Ms. OMalley Dillon is a business partner with Mrs. Clintons chief digital strategist, Teddy Goff. But she is also a former executive director of the Democratic National Committee and was a central piece of Mr. Obamas political infrastructure for many years. She oversaw his field organizing effort in the 2012 campaign.
Mrs. Clinton, in her second campaign, has turned to Robby Mook, who worked on her first race and is a revered figure among many political operatives. But she has also relied on people who helped Mr. Obama defeat her in the 2008 contest.
