Businesswoman Carly Fiorina (R) is staffing up in preparation for a likely 2016 presidential run, hiring a top Republican National Committee (RNC) staffer to help her with communications.
Fiorina has poached RNC Deputy Communications Director Sarah Isgur Flores to work for her political action committee, Unlocking Potential, as she mulls a White House bid.
"Excited to announce that I'm going to work for @CarlyFiorina at Unlocking Potential Project #NewAdventure," Flores tweeted Friday morning.
Flores, a Texas native, is a fast-rising GOP strategist, having worked as an adviser on Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) Senate campaign and to Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign.
Fiorina, a former CEO of Hewlett-Packard who lost a 2010 race against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), is the only Republican woman giving serious consideration to a White House bid, though she'd begin the race as a long shot given her low national name recognition.
She's previously served as an adviser on Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign and as fundraising chairwoman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Republican National Committee and vice chairwoman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
