Congratulations to Ian Sams – who I got to know, like and respect in 2017 when he was Tom Perriello’s communications director, and in 2018 when he was Sen. Tim Kaine’s communications director – on being named national press secretary to the Kamala Harris for President campaign, which just launched a few minutes ago. I’d rate this an A+ pick, and if it’s any sign of the Harris campaign’s savvy and effectiveness, it bodes well for her prospects. Plus, Harris is super-impressive, definitely in my top tier of candidates I’m considering for the nomination.
~some personal news~
Helped launch a presidential campaign for my 30th birthday.
Immensely proud and grateful to begin this new journey as national press secretary for @KamalaHarris — a badass woman and the next President of the United States.

On MLK Day and 47 years to the week since Shirley Chisholm launched her campaign for president, it's amazing to sit here and watch @KamalaHarris announce — thinking about the road we've taken but all the trails left to blaze and needed progress to make.

EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Kamala Harris tells @GMA: "The American people deserve to have someone who is going to fight for them, who is going to see them, who will hear them, who will care about them…and put them in front of self-interest." https://t.co/Z1gKfXCrkz pic.twitter.com/d14OZAqI0k
