Potential campaign help

John — I hope you’re taking the time to decompress a little before the campaign kicks in. I hope you don’t mind me reaching out, but I wanted to connect you with a very good (and talented) friend of mine, Matt Littman, who is very interested in helping on the campaign any way he can, particularly in California. I believe Matt could help the campaign in several ways: First, he was the head of government relations at Broadcom and spent the last several years working with the tech companies in California to lead the effort on patent trolls. The coalition featured 12 companies, including Apple and Google, as well as the car companies. He has organized numerous dinners both in DC and CA with his friends at the tech companies, and others involved in technology policy, with members of Congress. Thus, he has great familiarity and relationships with many of the players in Silicon Valley and elsewhere that could be useful to the campaign. Second, he has been a speechwriter and screen writer. For speechwriting, he has worked with several political figures, CEOs, famous actors and sports figures. He worked with then Senator Biden in 2007, and has worked closely with Lehane and Fabiani. Most importantly, Matt has a tremendous amount of humor, common sense and commitment. I would love to connect the two of you for a conversation (over coffee or otherwise) to see how Matt could help the campaign, whether it is with relationships in California, writing and communicating, or anything else. I have attached Matt’s resume below. BTW — I assume you already know, but I’m also happy to help any way I can. Thanks very much, All the best, Jon
