Beto O’Rourke has hired a digital director for his presidential campaign as the former congressman attempts to find his footing and organize a viable campaign in a growing field of Democrats
.
Rob Flaherty, the former creative director at the progressive super PAC Priorities USA and deputy digital communications director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid, is set to join the effort, a campaign aide told POLITICO.The move comes nearly eight weeks after the former Texas congressman announced his candidacy.
The hire also comes soon after the departure of two senior officials who worked on O’Rourke’s Senate run and Bernie Sanders‘ 2016 presidential campaign, Becky Bond and Zack Malitz. Their abrupt exits, first reported by BuzzFeed, led some Democrats to speculate that the digital firm Middle Seat would depart next given that is also run by former Sanders staffers such as Hector Sigala, the firm’s co-founder.
But a campaign aide said that Sigala and Middle Seat were staying and partnering with Flaherty. "We are excited that Rob Flaherty will be joining our team as digital director and working closely with Hector Sigala — our senior adviser for digital — and the entire Middle Seat team," the aide said.
