Facebook Has Dozens of Ex-Obama and Ex-Hillary Staffers in Senior Positions

After working for Obama, many of these employees returned to Facebook, some of whom now occupy senior positions at the company, according to their Linkedin profiles.

Melissa Lano, who has held multiple senior roles at Facebook including Associate Manager on International Elections in 2012, where she worked on the American presidential election.

In total, we found 45 employees who had previously worked or volunteered with the Hilary campaigns, the Obama campaigns, or the Obama White House and are now employed by Facebook, Facebook-owned companies, or the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.

Our search for former Romney staffers or campaign volunteers who currently work at Facebook returned just seven profiles.

A search for former Trump staffers returned zero profiles -unless you count the Facebook industry insights lead who interned at Ivanka Trump's company in 2012.

Facebook denies Carol Davidsen's claim that the company gave the Obama campaign any special favors in 2012.

A Facebook spokeswoman said, "Both the Obama and Romney campaigns had access to the same tools, and no campaign received any special treatment from Facebook."
