Top Tammy Baldwin aides to lead Joe Biden campaign in Wisconsin

Two top political aides to U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin will help guide Joe Biden's presidential campaign in Wisconsin.

Scott Spector was named senior adviser and Danielle Melfi was selected as state director, the Biden campaign announced early Wednesday.

Spector and Melfi both worked on Baldwin's 2018 campaign when she easily won re-election.

"I couldn’t be more excited to see Vice President Biden’s campaign team comprised of some of the best Democratic talent Wisconsin has to offer," Baldwin said in a statement released by the campaign. "Scott Spector and Danielle Melfi led my 10-point re-election campaign and their unparalleled knowledge of the Badger State is exactly what the Vice President needs to win Wisconsin in November."

Spector previously served for five years as executive director of Wisconsin Progress, a nonprofit candidate recruitment and training organization. He was also a campaign adviser to Appeals Court Judge Lisa Neubauer, who in 2019 lost a close race for state Supreme Court to Justice Brian Hagedorn.

Melfi worked in the administration of Gov. Tony Evers as assistant secretary for the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families.

Biden's team announced two other key hires: Garren Randolph as deputy state director and Shirley Ellis as a strategic adviser.

Randolph, political director of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, was political director for Evers in 2018, and the campaign manager for Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas.

Ellis is a longtime political aide to U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee. She'll join the Biden campaign after the Democratic National Convention, where she currently serves as a senior adviser.

The campaign also announced its headquarters will be based in Milwaukee.
