She also formerly served as an organizer for a local chapter of the Transport Workers Union.

D’Orazio is joining Clinton’s team after working with the AFL-CIO, America’s largest labor organization, as well as the United Auto Workers Union.

Clinton’s campaign hopes the pair will help mobilize organized labor support in battleground states before the general presidential election.

The AFL-CIO voted last month to endorse Clinton, following the path of several other top unions across the nation.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, also has the backing of the National Education Association and the Service Employees International Union.
