Jeff Tiller, Deputy Press Secretary for Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, is leaving the governor’s side to work for the campaign of presumptive democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
The indefatiguable Tiller has been at Kaine’s side for most of the Governor’s appearances throughout the state since Kaine took office in 2006, wielding Blackberry and cell phone will equal aplomb. Kaine is a national co-chair for Obama and oft-mentioned, albeit dark-horse candidate, to be the Illinois senator’s running mate.
The twentysomething Tiller, who lives in Richmond’s Fan District, will be working on Obama’s advance team, helping to organize public appearances across the country for the candidate. He heads to Obamalot after in a week.
