Sharron Angle’s campaign is staffing up with a more seasoned national player, with the campaign announcing Tuesday that they had named Jarrod Agen as their new communications director.
Agen has in the past served as communications director in California for the gubernatorial campaign of Steve Poizner in the Republican primary (lost), was a regional communications director for Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign (lost), and worked for the Ohio Republican Party on President George W. Bush’s 2004 re-election (won), and was director of press logistics at the 2004 GOP convention in New York City.
He has also held positions in the Department of Homeland Security, and with some organizations that the right wing usually hates: the State Department, the Environmental Protection Agency — and MSNBC.
The TPM Poll Average currently gives Harry Reid a lead of 45.1%-42.7%.
