Obama Adds To Gay Outreach
The following is from 365Gay.com:
Democrat Barack Obama has added two longtime gay advocates to his LGBT election team.
Dave Noble has been named Director of the LGBT Vote. He joins Brian Bond, Director of Constituencies.
Noble, a native of Rhode Island, is a former Stonewall Democrats Executive Director.
He brings with him an extensive knowledge and experience in grassroots organizing including his role as Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs at the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force. There, Noble has worked with Stonewall Democrats significantly on electoral issues and community organizing.
During the 2004 election cycle, he served as the Executive Director of National Stonewall Democrats where he built the electoral and voter mobilization ability of the organization while recruiting prominent LGBT Democrats - including Chrissy Gephardt - to serve as organizational spokespeople during the election cycle.
As Executive Director, Noble also emphasized coalition building and moved the organization into electoral partnerships with communities of color, organized labor and youth including founding the Young Voters Alliance and the Stonewall Student Network (now Stonewall Young Democrats).
Bond is a Stonewall Democrat member and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Council at the Democratic National Committee.
A native of Missouri, Bond will serve as the Director of Constituencies for the Obama for America campaign.
