Hey Sean – and, hello again, Sue! That’s great.  From the Convention side, we are beginning to put together surrogate lists and hope to be in a position to brief the Hill comm directors on those efforts in early June.  The rest I defer to Luis on but would love to stay in touch! April

April and Luis,
Greetings from the new gig! I hope you're both well. You knew it wouldn't be long before I came calling given the season we're in.
Both with the near-nomination of Trump and likely nomination of Secretary Clinton, I want to make sure Senator Cardin is on your radar as a foreign policy surrogate for upcoming press calls and events, and as we look ahead to the Convention, both from a platform and day-to-day programming perspective, I wanted to know how he and his team can be publicly and privately involved in helping shape.
With the foreign apprehension we're hearing about a potential Trump presidency and with our own likely nominee a former Secretary of State, we know this topic will likely get a lot more attention than other elections.
Just a note for now to let you know we're looking ahead and want to be on your radar.
CC'd here is Sue Walitsky, Senator Cardin's personal office communications director.
Thanks and see you both soon hopefully.
Sean
