U.S. Senator Cory Booker today announced the first four members of his campaign leadership team.

The Cory Booker for Senate Campaign Team includes:

Adam Silverstein, a veteran New Jersey campaign strategist who has been recognized as one of the state’s top operatives, will lead Senator Booker’s re-election team.  Adam was the principal architect of the Bergen Democrats’ electoral success over the past decade, including County Executive Jim Tedesco’s upset victory in 2014. Serving as Rep. Josh Gottheimer’s chief strategist in 2016, he helped defeat a seven-term incumbent – a rare bright spot for Democrats across the country that year.  Over the past 15 years, Adam has worked on over 100 New Jersey political campaigns, including Cory Booker’s first campaign for Senate in 2013.

Missy currently serves as the Interim Administrator in Hamilton Township and will officially join the campaign as Deputy Campaign Manager – Political Director next month.

Anne Sciaino will serve as the campaign’s National Finance Director.  Anne has more than a decade of fundraising experience with several Congressional, Senate and Presidential campaigns, including Cory Booker’s 2013 and 2014 Senate campaigns and most recently as Chief of Staff to Booker’s presidential campaign finance team.   She previously served as Hillary Clinton’s New Jersey Finance Director in 2016, Finance Director for Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman in her first Congressional campaign in 2014 and as a member of the finance team for Senator Frank Lautenberg’s 2008 campaign.
