Immigration Hub Statement on Julie Chavez Rodriguez’s Appointment as President Biden’s Reelection Campaign Manager 

Washington, D.C. – Following the news that Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the current senior adviser to the president and the director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, will serve as President Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign manager, Sergio Gonzales, the Executive Director of the Immigration Hub released the statement below: 

“Julie Chavez Rodriguez is a smart, accomplished, and well-respected public servant, and her appointment as President Biden's reelection campaign manager – the first Latina to reach this career milestone – is not only historic but a testament to Julie’s exceptional skills as a strategist and someone who knows how to build winning coalitions.” 

“As the granddaughter of civil rights leader Cesar Chavez, Julie inherited a deep commitment to social justice and community. She grew up organizing to advance the rights of working people and she has spent her life working tirelessly to advance these values.

“With her extensive experience serving two Presidents, working in the United States Senate for then-Senator Kamala Harris, and managing political campaigns at the highest levels, Julie will guide the Biden-Harris campaign with a strong vision and a deep understanding of the issues that matter most to Americans. 

“Throughout her career, she has built sweeping partnerships and ensured that underrepresented voices, including women and people of color, have a seat at the table. Julie’s historic appointment as campaign manager is celebrated in particular by Latinas and Latinos across the country who have a longtime champion serving at the highest levels. She is a true asset to the team, and her contributions and experiences will be essential in the fight to build a better future for all.

“President Joe Biden simply could not have chosen a better person to lead his reelection campaign than Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who will work diligently to ensure President Biden and Vice President Harris can continue to deliver for hard-working Americans for another four years. The stakes of this election could not be higher. Democrats are fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated individual serving as President Biden's campaign manager, and we can all look forward to a campaign that is driven by passion, integrity, and a commitment to the people.”
