Hillary Clinton hardest hit...
Via
The Politico:
Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt may have helped Barack Obama
build a political technology juggernaut, but now another top Google
executive is trying to help Republicans catch up.
Michele
Weslander Quaid, who serves as the company’s “Innovation Evangelist” and
chief technology officer for its public-sector division, is joining the
board of directors of Voter Gravity, a campaign technology company that
serves GOP candidates and conservative groups.
It’s a bit of a political coming-out for Weslander
Quaid, who joined Google in 2011 and had not previously been active in
partisan politics.
The move comes as Google, which had become known in Washington as a
reliable source of campaign cash and technology talent to Democrats, is
working to diversify its political footprint.
The tech giant has pumped cash into conservative groups and hired an
array of Republicans to interface with the press and politicians,
including former Rep. Susan Molinari, who became head of its Washington
office in 2012, as well as former George W. Bush aide Rob Saliterman and
GOP campaign flak Jill Hazelbaker.
