Harris hires new speechwriter, third since beginning of administration: report

Vice President Harris hired Dave Cavell to be her new chief speechwriter, the third person to hold that position since February, following Kate Childs Graham and Meghan Groob.

"The vice president takes very seriously the team that works for her and we were pleased to have such great help from both Kate Childs Graham, Meghan Groob, Chris Huntley, and now Dave Cavell," communications director Jamal Simmons told Politico. "We look forward to her having many more interesting things to say."

It was back in February when Graham, Harris's first chief speechwriter, announced that she was leaving her post. Her successor, Meghan Groob, did not last long at all, staying only until the summer. Groob and Huntley had both vied for the position, and while Groob got the job, Huntley contributed political writing via the Democratic National Committee, Harris's office told Politico.
