Clinton campaign
hires HRC marketing whiz

Luis Vizcaino, a marketing director with the gay rights group Human Rights Campaign, has been tapped to head up communications efforts in California for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

Vizcaino currently serves as communications and marketing director for HRC. As of June 1, Vizcaino will help Clinton make inroads in the Golden State as the New York senator's California communications director and spokesperson.

"Luis is a seasoned communications expert that brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to my team," Clinton said in a press release. "I am confident that his skills will help us reach more communities and engage individuals on the issues that matter most."

White at HRC, Vizcaino managed the group's messaging and strategy, working to increase the HRC's presence within the Latino community. Vizcaino also functioned as the HRC's spokesperson in the press.

"I leave the Human Rights Campaign--an organization committed to equality for LGBT Americans--to work for Hillary Clinton, who also strongly believes in equality, and who as president will ensure that all Americans are treated fairly under the law," Vizcaino said in the release. "She has a proven record of leadership, is a champion for our community, and will work tirelessly to end discrimination for LGBT Americans." (The Advocate)
