Fred Aikens worked for Sen. Kay Hagan for a day and a half.
A longtime fiscal analyst at the state legislature, Aikens ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for state auditor last year.
He told Dome that he was hired last Wednesday to do constituent service work for Hagan, a Greensboro Democrat.
About midday on Thursday, he said he was let go.
"That's about all I know," he said. "I'm waiting for a phone call. Hopefully I can get a chance to talk to the senator."
In the meantime, Aikens has restarted his private consulting work, refiling his lobbyist registration today.
A spokeswoman for Hagan said she was unfamiliar with the details.
Update: State political director Muthoni Wambu, who worked as deputy campaign manager for Hagan and previously served on Joe Biden's presidential campaign, is also no longer working in the office.
Spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan would not discuss either case.
"It's our office policy not to discuss personnel issues," she said.

Re: Aikens hired, fired by Hagan
Spuriousness, not a word you see everyday. OK how many of you had to look up Ryan's fancy word.
