President Biden summoned on Tuesday morning ( 25) the senior adviser Julie Chavez Rodriguez to preside over his re-electioncampaign.

Julie Chávez is the granddaughter of Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez and draws attention for her second appearance with a Democratic president. In the Biden administration she served as director of intergovernmental affairs.

“In her White House job over the past two years, Rodriguez and her staff helped state, local and tribal governments, and Puerto Rico and the other U.S. territories, with their federal government needs. That included combating COVID-19 and distributing aid from the $1.9 trillion in Biden’s coronavirus relief plan”.

She previously worked as special assistant to the president and senior deputy director of public engagement in the Obama White House. Prior to that, she worked at the Interior Department and worked as deputy press secretary to Ken Salazar, former secretary of the Interior.

After her time in the Obama administration, Chávez Rodríguez worked closely with now-Vice President Harris during her time in the Senate, serving as California state director, according to her White House biography. She then pivoted to work for Harris’s presidential campaign as the national political director and the traveling chief of staff”, according to The Hill.

Chávez Rodríguez was surrounded by political organizations throughout her life. She is the granddaughter of Cesar Chavez, who advocated fair working conditions for rural workers in the 1960s and 1970s.

Cecilia Munoz, who led the office of intergovernmental affairs during the Obama administration, told The AssociatedPress that Chavez Rodriguez is in office now because of her ability, not because of her family ties.

“Biden has been an outspoken supporter of her grandfather, Cesar Chávez, keeping a bust of the labor activist in the Oval Office. Biden’s choice to appoint her as campaign manager has prompted celebration from advocacy groups, including America’s Voice, which advocates for undocumented immigrants in the United States”, according to The Hill.

Biden on Tuesday also named Sen. Raphael Warnock’s (D-Ga.) former campaign manager Quentin Fulks as his principal deputy campaign manager, and praised both Chávez Rodríguez and Fulks as “trusted, effective leaders” in his video launch.

“With this team leading the charge, we’ll be able to do just that. Julie and Quentin are trusted, effective leaders that know the stakes of this election and will bring their knowledge and energy to managing a campaign that reaches all Americans”, Biden said.
