With her mayoral campaign in the red, Jessica Ramos (D) brings on campaign head fired by rival candidate
Progressive mayoral hopeful Jessica Ramos, whose campaign is in financial dire straits amid flagging fundraising, hired a new campaign manager this week who was recently fired as a top aide to one of her opponents, the Daily News has learned.
Trivette Knowles, a veteran New York political consultant, started his new job as campaign manager for Ramos, a Queens state senator, on Tuesday, he confirmed.
Ramos’ new hire comes after fellow mayoral candidate Whitney Tilson terminated Knowles as his campaign manager earlier this month in a staff purge that resulted in the axing of at least six other aides and a fundraising consultant.
The ousters from Tilson’s camp — first reported earlier this month by The News and Politico — came after Knowles and other staffers reportedly threatened to quit over concerns that Tilson, an ex-hedge fund manager, was letting his friends in finance have too much say over his policy platform, especially on law enforcement matters.
