Carly Fiorina staffs up for 2016

Sarah Isgur Flores served as the GOP’s deputy director of communications through the 2014 election cycle and she announced to friends via e-mail Friday that, starting Monday, she’ll begin work with Fiorina’s political-action committee, Unlocking Potential. Should the former HP CEO mount a presidential bid, Flores will serve as one of her top strategists. The 32-year-old Harvard Law graduate, a native Texan, also worked on Ted Cruz’s Senate campaign. 

Fiorina, who served as a surrogate for John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign and mounted an unsuccessful bid to unseat California senator Barbara Boxer in 2010, is making increasingly clear that she is thinking seriously about a run for the White House.
