WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign hired former gun safety advocate Scott Hogan to lead the grassroots organizing operation in Minnesota, officials said Thursday.
Hogan previously worked as the Minnesota director and campaign manager for Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates for local and federal gun laws to promote gun safety, according to its website.
Hogan is an alum of Indiana University and speaks Spanish, according to his LinkedIn profile.
From the campaign:
"Working with Hillary supporters will coordinate local grassroots organizing meetings, volunteer trainings, house parties and days of action. By engaging supporters and training volunteers, the Clinton campaign is building local grassroots volunteer infrastructure that will be ready to compete and win the primary or caucus in that state."
The campaign also says that in May, these teams will organize people together at house parties to watch as she "lays out the vision for her campaign."
The Minnesota hire is apart of a 50-state grassroots organizing network the Brooklyn-based team is building now.
