Dear John,

It was great to meet you in Manchester at the YWCA event for Hillary
Clinton. I will continue to serve here as a volunteer through election day
on Tuesday. As we discussed, I am currently looking for work and have
extensive campaign experience. In 2008, I served as Co-Chair for Hillary's
campaign in Connecticut.

I’m a results-oriented leader with fifteen years of professional management
experience, and a proven track record of accomplishment in development,
communications and government relations. I’d love to bring my expertise and
enthusiasm to your team at Hillary for America.

Let me draw your attention to three reasons why you might want to bring me
on board.

One, I have a proven track record of running Connecticut’s largest city for
the past eight years. During this time, Bridgeport’s city government
focused on and achieved improving the city’s bond rating and finances,
major economic development projects, innovation and modernization,
sustainability and improving communication and civic engagement.

Two, I have a successful track record of and passion for development and
fundraising. One of my first development challenges came when I went to
work with the Connecticut Democratic Party as Finance Director with
then-Chairman, now Attorney General George Jepsen. The party was in the red
financially. I put together a comprehensive fundraising plan including
direct outreach from the Chairman, prospecting of new donors in the
corporate community and private sector, events, direct mail and electronic
communications.  The plan produced the most successful fundraising events
in the Democratic Party’s history to date. Events included former President
Clinton, Hillary Clinton and President Obama.  The strengthened financial
state of the party ultimately led to major Democratic gains at both the
state and national level.  Additionally, as a board member of LifeBridge
Community Services in Bridgeport, I raise about $100,000 annually and in my
current position, I have raised approximately $5 million dollars for causes
including but not limited to Bridgeport’s successful gun buy-back program
which since 2012 has removed over 1200 guns from our streets and efforts to
improve educational outcomes.

Three, I am a senior marketing and communications professional with more
than 15 years of experience in the New York and Hartford media markets. I
have placed principles in national publications and programs such as the
New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox news.  I have
also been interviewed and quoted extensively as an on-the-record
spokesperson for numerous campaigns and advocacy efforts in the Connecticut
Post, the Hartford Courant, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time
Magazine and NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox news affiliates.

The most recent marketing effort I oversaw for the City of Bridgeport was a
million dollar campaign focused on attracting investment and economic
development to the city and enhancing confidence in Bridgeport’s direction
by highlighting successful improvements and development currently
underway.  The campaign involved two advertising firms and utilized
television, websites, social media and digital content. Following less than
a year of paid media effort, several businesses moved to Bridgeport and
confidence improved over 15% as measured by professional market research
conducted by the Greater Bridgeport Business Council and Greenberg, Quinlan
& Rosner.

Managing and acting as a senior adviser on two statewide campaigns and
while working as Political Director at the State Democratic Party, I
oversaw and directed a media budget of over $20 million spent on advocating
the success or defeat of candidates through TV, digital, radio and direct
mail advertisements. These impactful marketing efforts led to the
successful election of numerous candidates for local and statewide office
and congressional seats.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with Hillary for America to help
elect a Hillary Clinton as our next President. I have been actively
supporting and contributing to the Clinton's my entire life and it would be
a dream come true to work in a professional capacity to help Hillary become
President.

Sincerely,

Adam Wood

PS - I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this to Huma as
well. We also met on Friday and she was out of cards. She recommended that
I forward this information to you and ask you to pass it along.
