Rep. Gayman Hired by Obama's Campaign

Rep. Elesha Gayman (D-Davenport) has been hired by Barack Obama's campaign to serve as the eastern Iowa Political Director.

This is a nice pickup for Obama. Gayman, a freshman legislator, was a delegate to the DNC in 2004, worked for the Kerry campaign in northeast Iowa, has ties to labor in the Quad Cities, and has a lot of support from Democracy of Iowa.

I am impressed with the campaign team Obama has been putting together.
