Hillary Clinton’s communications staff in Brooklyn is growing.

The campaign has hired Adrienne Watson as a rapid-response spokeswoman.


Watson, who started work in Brooklyn on Monday, will continue from within the campaign the work she had been doing from an affiliated outside group — she previously served as communications director for Correct the Record, the David Brock-led super PAC that coordinates with the campaign and responds to attacks from Bernie Sanders and the Republican field. At Clinton headquarters, Watson joins another Correct the Record alumnus, Adrienne Elrod, who now oversees Clinton’s surrogate operation as director of strategic communications and surrogates.

The cramped Brooklyn headquarters is getting more crowded as the campaign focuses on the busy March calendar and begins to grow its operation. Another recent addition to the headquarters team is Lily Adams, who served as communications director for Iowa. Adams moved from Des Moines to New York after the Iowa caucuses and now oversees the communications strategy for the March states.
