In New Hampshire, Shaheen campaign adds Vermont veteran

Robby Mook, a political operative who got his start in Green Mountain State politics has been named campaign manager of former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen’s (D-N.H.) U.S. Senate campaign, PolitickerNH.com reports.

Earlier this cycle, Mook delivered critical victories to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign as state director in Nevada, Ohio and Indiana.

Mook first entered the national political scene in 2004 as deputy field director for Howard Dean’s New Hampshire primary effort. He later joined the DNC’s field and training team before capping off the cycle in Wisconsin as John Kerry’s GOTV director.

Prior to his political whirlwind, Mook earned his battle stripes working for the Vermont Democratic Party.

Starting as a party canvasser in 1998, Mook worked for the Vermont House Democratic caucus in 2000 and served as a field director for the Vermont Democratic Party’s coordinated campaign in 2002.

Shaheen, who served as New Hampshire’s first female governor, is looking to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-N.H.) this fall.
