Elizabeth Warren has hired two senior officials from Julián Castro’s presidential campaign: campaign manager Maya Rupert and political director Natalie Montelongo
Elizabeth Warren has hired two senior officials from Julián Castro’s presidential campaign: campaign manager Maya Rupert and political director Natalie Montelongo, a Warren official told POLITICO Tuesday.
Rupert, who previously was a senior policy adviser for Castro at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and before that worked at the National Center for Lesbian Rights, will be a senior adviser and serve as a campaign surrogate. Montelongo, who previously worked at the ACLU and in Nevada and Colorado during Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, will be a senior strategist focusing on political and constituency outreach along with the campaign’s surrogate program.
The two additions are part of a larger Castro-Warren fusion in the weeks since he dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed the Massachusetts senator. He has become a go-to surrogate, making stops in Iowa, Nevada, and New York, sometimes without Warren. In addition,who supported Castro's bid have thrown their support behind Warren. That includes Castro’s twin brother, Rep. Joaquin Castro , who campaigned in the Hawkeye State Tuesday and will be doing a joint appearance with his brother Wednesday in Denison, Iowa.
Several more of Castro’s top aides — organizing director Lillie Catlin, director of scheduling and advance Shereen Zaid, and South Carolina state director Christina Cue — have also joined the Warren campaign. Other junior staffers are expected to join Warren's campaign in the coming weeks.
