Hey, Reporters: There are Female Obama Staffers
Rolling Stone published an article with 10 people who helped win the election for President Obama. 10 "people" turned out to be 9 dudes and one woman. So, I'm making it easier on reporters. Here's some females who won the election for Obama.
- My friend @MelissaRyan (herself an awesome female Obama staffer!) pointed something important out:
@JessLivMo Female Obama staffers are also less likely to promote ourselves. And you've seen the backlash we get from our own when featured.
1) @jomalleydillon: Obama 2012's ground game may have been the genius of a couple of (great) dudes, but meet their boss. Dept. Campgn. Mngr.- 3) @stefcutter Who says Ds can't get out the message? And she did all of it while under fire on disgusting personal attacks.
- 4) @Habershaw Low profile, high impact woman who's been around political operations for years and ran a very tight ship. Heart of gold :)
- 5) @jennb_jennb Field Director in Ohio. Now you know who you have to thank for those votes that made the difference.
- 6) @BetsyHoover Online Organizing Director who was one of the folks who led the Dashboard team
- 7) @ameliashowalter Director of Digital Analytics. It's pretty much THE story of the campaign, I don't need to tell you why she's important
- 8) @marthapatzer & @llholstj: They wrote a shit ton of those emails that made the campaign millions of dollars. Senior Email Writers
- /rant *for now* There's probably more reporting I can/will do on this. #changetheratio
- Bonus! 11: @lauraolin If there is a person in the world right now who runs better social media, find me that person.
- Bonus bonus 12_ @skinnycappucino who headed the team that wrote the incredible, never-ending stream of blog posts
