Elizabeth Warren’s man in New Hampshire

The Boston Globe reports:
If Senator Elizabeth Warren needs a champion in New Hampshire, she has one in Kurt Ehrenberg.

He already has a ground-floor office rented in downtown Manchester and a three-member staff pitching a Warren 2016 presidential bid to progressive voters. Starting this weekend, Ehrenberg will dispatch groups of volunteers to hold “Run Warren Run” signs along prominent roadsides such as Market Square in Portsmouth.

Democracy for America and MoveOn.org anticipate spending close to $250,000 in New Hampshire as part of a national draft to persuade Warren to launch a presidential bid for 2016.

Hiring Ehrenberg as their state director is a big part of their strategy.

“Kurt has a long history in New Hampshire of understanding the political dynamics and connecting with people,” said Charles Chamberlain, Democracy For America’s executive director.
