WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., has hired Craig B. Kirby, a Clinton administration advance man and former deputy campaign manager for John Edwards' presidential campaign, as his new campaign manager.
More recently, Kirby served as deputy campaign manager for the successful Mark Warner for U.S. Senate campaign in Virginia. He has worked for the Democratic National Committee in several capacities and helped former Vermont governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean become chairman of the DNC, according to a four-page resume.
From July 2002 to June 2003, Kirby served as the Southern regional political director for the DNC and, before that, was deputy director of the Get Out the Vote effort for the Gore-Lieberman 2000 race.
He has also held jobs in government, including stints at the Emergency Management Agency for the city of Washington and as director of the intergovernmental affairs division of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
He lives in Northwest Washington, D.C.
