Gordon hired to work in N.J. by DNC group

Organizing for America (OFA), a Democratic National Committee project aimed at continuing the grass roots network developed during Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign has hired two full-time operatives to work in New Jersey during the 2009 campaign.  Samantha Gordon, a former special assistant to Gov. Jon Corzine, will serve as New Jersey State Director, and Rob Dible, who was a regional field director for Obama in northeast Missouri, will serve as New Jersey Field Director.

Gordon was traveling with Corzine when the governor was seriously injured in an April 2007 automobile accident.  She later went on to serve as political director of Hillary Clinton's New Jersey campaign, and then went to New Mexico as a political organizer for the National Education Association.
