Hillary Clinton Hires Senate Campaign Manager
Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday hired a New York political operative to manage her Senate campaign.
Bill de Blasio has been regional director of the New York-New Jersey office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the last two years. He is a political ally of HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo, son of former New York Gov. Mario M. Cuomo.
