ALBANY, N.Y. — Two New York Latino leaders said they would be upset if Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Latino campaign manager was replaced because of primary losses.
Patti Solis Doyle, whose parents were Mexican immigrants, stepped down as Clinton’s campaign manager last weekend. Clinton has said Doyle’s decision was a personal response to a grueling campaign, not about job performance. She added that Solis Doyle would remain a senior adviser.
In a letter to Clinton dated Monday, state Sen. Ruben Diaz Jr. and Assemblyman Jose Peralta, both New York City Democrats, wrote that they are inclined to believe the explanation, but “it will be very troubling to many if somehow we later find that she left her post under pressure because of the recent primary losses your campaign suffered.”
On Tuesday, Clinton’s deputy campaign manager, Mike Henry, also stepped down.
