A New Candle In The Clinton Universe
Burns Strider, a senior policy adviser to incoming House majority whip James Clyburn, has agreed to join Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, should the Senator decide to run. Burns has more than a decade of political and policy experience, and he has a Southern pedigree. The son of Sheriff , Burns was chief of staff to ex-Rep. Ronnie Shows, and worked with Clinton advisor Howard Wolfson at the DCCC. A native of Grenada, MS, Strider has headed up the House Democratic Caucus's outreach to faith groups. His exact place in the Clinton hierarchy is unknown, but he'll likely serve as a senior political and policy aide to Clinton. [MARC AMBINDER]
