While many of the headlines in Florida’s 6th Congressional District have revolved around internecine Republican warfare, Democratic frontrunner Nancy Soderberg is building her staff for the general election.
New to the team: Campaign Manager Alexa Sheryll and Field Director Kirsten Dillon.
Sheryll’s last major gig was in New York, where she ran the Suffolk County Coordinated Campaign, and where she also worked for Zephyr Teachout.
Dillon worked on the successful Virginia gubernatorial campaign of Ralph Northam, apt preparation for a run for an open seat in a district that is leaning less Republican as the campaign season goes on.
Soderberg, who was Ambassador to the United Nations during Bill Clinton’s presidency, has shown momentum since entering the race in Summer 2017. She raised $207,949 last quarter, putting her above the $544,000 mark. She has $376,000 cash on hand.
While this does not give Soderberg the total cash on hand lead (Republican John Ward has $644,216 on hand), Soderberg will have the resources to be competitive.
