Harris-Walz campaign adds senior hires to fundraising staff

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has added three senior hires to its fundraising apparatus as it works to mobilize donors and build on early momentum that resulted in an influx of cash, according to two sources familiar with the matter. 

Kristin Bertolina Faust will be co-chair of the finance operation, joining Rufus Gifford, who has served as chair of the National Finance Committee since President Joe Biden was the candidate. Stephanie Daily Smith and Jen Liu will join in senior adviser roles. 

The addition of the three political consultants comes as the campaign works to bolster its West Coast outreach and capitalize on Harris’ own political network. 

Michael Pratt and Colleen Coffey will continue as co-directors of the finance operations.

CNN previously reported that the team was looking to expand its fundraising team.
