U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s campaign announced Tuesday it hired Dan McNally as campaign manager for his 2016 re-election bid.
McNally most recently served as regional political director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, working with Bennet, . In 2012, he advised the campaign of Rep. Mark Takano of California from his position at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He also worked for congressional campaigns in the 2010 and 2012 cycles.
Bennet is one of the few vulnerable Democrats — which will only further put Colorado in the political limelight as an important state next year.
“Dan has years of experience working on some of the most competitive House and Senate races in the country. Adding him to our team will ensure we run a strong and winning campaign that allows our office to continue serving Coloradans and fighting for the state in the U.S. Senate,” Bennet said in a statement.
McNally offered a glimpse at Bennet’s campaign themes in a statement announcing his new role.
Bennet “has a reputation as someone who offers solutions and cuts through the dysfunction to get things done for Colorado. It’s the hard work that he and his office have put in over the last few years that are why he will win re-election in 2016,” McNally said.
