Durazo moving up in Obama campaign
Well, that didn't take long.
Less than two weeks after taking a leave from her job as head of the county Federation of Labor to work for Sen. Barack Obama, Maria Elena Durazo has been named national co-chair of the campaign.
Durazo, whose roots are in organizing workers, will serve as one of the main surrogates for the Obama campaign leading up to the Feb. 5 primary election. One of her first jobs is hosting a series of round table discussions around the state focusing on the economy.
