Not only does he break a fundraising milestone in a single day, but he also hires the first Muslim in US History to manage a Presidential political campaign!
I don't really care what they are, but how good are they? Totally unfamiliar and I feel like google won't lend me a precise answer
I'm already feeling the Bern.
The source explains his background:
Shakir joins the Sanders operation from the American Civil Liberties Union where he served as national political director since early 2017. Before joining the ACLU, he was a senior adviser to then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and before that he worked with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He first made a name for himself as an editor at the site ThinkProgress, the news arm associated with, though editorially independent of, the powerhouse Democratic think-tank Center for American Progress.
God I miss Reid.
