Congresswoman-elect Annie Kuster has turned to an accomplished political operative to serve as her district director, The Sunday Telegraph has learned.
Sean Downey most recently completed a stint as political director of Organizing for America, the grassroots operation of President Barack Obama.
His work on state and federal campaigns goes back a decade, and he was a senior adviser on Gov. John Lynch’s re-election campaign in 2010. Downey is a 2002 graduate of Holy Cross.
“I am thrilled that Sean will be joining our team as district director,” Kuster said in a statement.
“Sean has a wealth of experience that makes him a natural fit for this role. The people of New Hampshire’s 2nd District will be well-served by his thoughtfulness, diligence and commitment to public service.”
As only she can do, congresswoman-elect Carol Shea Porter went a very different route, choosing a veteran elected official from the state, former senator and 2012 candidate for governor Jackie Cilley, of Barrington, to run her staff shop.
