Clinton officially names Smith


Hillary Clinton has officially named Averell "Ace" Smith as its North Carolina political director.

In a press release this afternoon, the Democratic presidential candidate noted his successful efforts in California and Texas.

"We are going to wage an aggressive, grassroots campaign and work hard for every vote across North Carolina," Smith said in a statement. 

Dome noted Smith's appointment on Friday, but Clinton did not announce it until today.
