Clinton Campaign Undergoes Major Change

Patti Solis Doyle has stepped down as Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager, making way for Maggie Williams to assume the role.

Dole will stay on as a senior adviser to the Democratic New York senator for the 2008 election campaign, NBC reported Sunday.

Patti Solis Doyle has done an extraordinary job in getting us to this point — within reach of the nomination, Clinton said in a statement, and I am enormously grateful for her friendship and her outstanding work Â…. Patti and I have worked with Maggie Williams for more than a decade. I am lucky to have Maggie on board, and I know she will lead our campaign with great skill toward the nomination.

Williams served as Clinton’s chief of staff when she was first lady.

Doyle also sent a letter to campaign staff Sunday.

I have been proud to manage this campaign, and prouder still to call Hillary my friend for more than 16 years. I know that she will make a great president, she said.
