Becky Carroll, deputy chief of staff to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and a veteran of Illinois political campaigns, this week moves to the Barack Obama presidential campaign as director of Women for Obama.
Women for Obama, led by candidate wife Michelle Obama, is the campaign’s effort to build up support among female voters, a group in which Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is especially strong as she runs to be the nation’s first woman president.
Carroll’s experience includes time as a communications aide to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. She also was communications director for Chicago congressman Rahm Emanuel’s crucial first campaign for his seat in Congress.
