Buttigieg campaign hires California state director

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg's presidential campaign has hired Cecilia Cabello, a former operative for Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and state director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, to run its operation in California.Story Continued Below

The campaign's retention of a state director in California is the latest sign that Buttigieg and his team have been looking to make an early and serious investment in building infrastructure in the Super Tuesday state, where most campaigns build out an operation later on.

Only a few other campaigns have announced state directors at this point in the 2020 cycle. Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, all among the top tier of Democratic candidates, have built out teams in the state, while former Vice President Joe Biden, the top-polling 2020 Democrat, has at least five staffers on the ground there.

Cabello gives Buttigieg an on-the-ground presence with close ties to organized labor in California, having served as the director of government relations for the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, a role in which she was responsible for the union's political activity in Los Angeles County. Cabello was tapped as Clinton's California state director during the 2016 presidential election and was previously Clinton's California deputy political director for the 2016 Democratic primary. More recently, Cabello has served as vice president of the Board of Public Works in Los Angeles and was also chief of staff to Los Angeles City Controller Ron Galperin.Harris but has spoken positively of Buttigieg, saying he “tends to be many people’s second choice — if he’s not already a first.

Poor thing she’s only got a job for a few more days. Must be difficult getting work in that line of business

Not sure that’s the best hire. Let’s hope CA learned something from the lack luster Hillary campaign. The Hillary campaign did not engage or excite folks in Sacramento.
