Clinton campaign manager gets good press in Spanish media
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager — Patti Solis Doyle — is getting much favorable press in the Spanish language media.
The latest is a long profile on Univision.com which says Doyle’s work has been a determining factor in making Clinton a front runner in the polls. The title of the article is: “The Brain Behind Hillary Clinton: She’s Hispanic and her name is Patti Soilis Doyle.”
It says that Doyle, a Mexican-American mother of two, has worked for Clinton for 16 years and is very close to the senator from New York.
“Hillary knows my family very well and has always been very generous with them,” Doyle says in the profile. “She was there at my wedding. She visited me in the hospital when my children were born and she called my mother to give her support when my father was dying… that shows the kind of person she is.”
