Julian Castro's Press Aide Joins Hillary Clinton's Campaign [View all]
Betsaida Alcantara, who has led the public affairs shop for Housing Secretary Julián Castro, is leaving to work for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Castro, thought to be a potential running mate to Clinton, announced Alcantara's impending departure Monday, while a Clinton campaign official told NBC News Alcantara would be joining Clinton's team. She'll be director of media planning, working on longterm media planning for the campaign. Castro's announcement did not mention Alcantara's new position.
Alcantara, who was born in the Dominican Republican but grew up in New York State, adds another Latina to Clinton's campaign staff and press operations.
Alcantara has worked for six years in the Obama administration, including Housing and Urban Development. She served as press secretary for Lisa Jackson at the Environmental Protection Agency and as a communications director at the General Services Administration.
