Let's Get to Know Obama's Cabinet: Emily Moran: Director of Communications
|
Posted By: Marta Fernandez on December 14, 2008 White House communications director Brings to the job: Years of experience in mobilizing public opinion for Democratic candidates, female candidates and labor union causes. Ms. Moran is executive director of Emily's List, which supports female candidates who favor abortion rights. She is known for paying attention to details, without losing sight of the big picture. Is linked to Mr. Obama: Through David Plouffe, the campaign manager, and David Axelrod, the chief campaign strategist, who will be Mr. Obama's senior adviser at the White House. She worked with both in previous jobs. She not only did not work on the Obama campaign, but was also a staunch advocate for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton through the entire primary season. In her own words:''Senator Obama certainly offers the new direction for this country that we so desperately need, that women voters need.'' (On ''Larry King Live'' on CNN in June) Used to work as: Coordinator of the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s ''corporate accountability campaign'' against Wal-Mart. During a leave of absence in 2004, she managed ''independent expenditures,'' advertising and other campaign activities for the Democratic National Committee. She also directed a $50 million issue advocacy campaign for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2000. Carries as potential baggage: Her outsider status -- she was not a member of Mr. Obama's original campaign team -- which could hinder access to the White House's inner circle. Résumé includes: Born May 1, 1966, in Troy, N.Y. ... graduated from Wheaton College in 1988 with degrees in political science and English literature. ... married to Kirk Fabel, vice president for finance at Worldwide E.R.C., a trade group for employee relocation specialists; two young children.
