Robby/John:

Danielle was a strong no (loves hrc, but loves where she is at her firm -
committed when she came to them she would not depart for any campaign,
personally made a commitment to her family and her God not to do it - you
get the picture).

I asked her to think about diverse talent that down the road could play a
role should she run.  Below are some immediate names.

best.

One thought from plane.   Perhaps the easiest -- and most visible -- place
to aim for diverse leadership in senior roles is in the Comms/Press
apparatus.  There are a number of former Obama press/comms aides who have
had roles on Campaigns, in government and even private sector now -- and so
their experience rivals and maybe even exceeds whatever the people who
played those roles in the '07/'08 cycle had (I'm thinking of people who
were mostly in #2/deputy press secretary, traveling press, and Comms roles
-- PFeiffer, Burton, Psaki, Etc).  Some names that come to mind:

--Nayera Huq (you may know from state)
-- Adora Andy Jenkins (formerly Holder's press sec, before that was at EPA.
  Now in private sector as Comms director at a tech association in dc).
--Kevin Lewis (current Holder press secretary.  Worked for Pfeiffer forever)
--Marti Adams (I think she is Deblasio's press sec now)
--Dag Vega and Luis Miranda are both excellent and have both left WH.  Not
sure where they ended up but could track down.

Minyon may know a number of these folks. And there are probs others I'm not
thinking about.   But those spokespeople/Comms roles are definitely ones on
any org chart that should be easy to fill with talented minorities.

Will keep thinking.
