Recently Zuckerberg hired Joel Benenson to poll for the tech CEO’s non-profit, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative:

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have hired Democratic pollster Joel Benenson, who served as chief strategist for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign, as a consultant, according to a new report.

Benenson’s company, Benenson Strategy Group, will conduct research for the couple’s philanthropic undertaking, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Politico reported.

Benenson, a former top adviser to President Barack Obama, is not the first politically connected individual employed by Zuckerberg. The move has, not for the first time, ignited speculation regarding Zuckerberg’s political ambitions.
