Over at the SFChron Political Blog, writer Greg Lucas pens a short piece today on Gubernatorial Spokesperson Julie Soderland being named as Press Secretary for the Governor’s re-election campaign.
Lucas’ post begins:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s press secretary for his re-elect campaign will be Julie Soderlund, a focused and driven mainstay in his gubernatorial press office.
Soderlund, 28, has developed a solid rapport with reporters over the three years she has worked in the governor’s press office, first as an assistant press secretary then as a deputy. Her focus has been on health care, public safety, clemency, prison, immigration and personnel issues.
You can read the rest, including why Julie’s nickname is "thumbs" here.
Since Julie used to work over at CommandFocus with our State Capitol Correspondent Dan Schnur, we’ll be looking for some thoughts on this appointment from Dan..
