Cahill will also serve as a senior adviser to King. Cahill is one of the nation's top political strategists, serving as assistant to the president and director of the Office of Public Liaison in the Clinton White House, chief of staff for the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and campaign director for John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign. "We are thrilled to have Mary Beth join the UAW leadership team especially in light of the difficult challenges ahead for our union," King said. "As we navigate the tough political environment in this era of attacks on American working families and the middle class, and head into national contract talks for the domestic automakers, I'm confident that she will help us elect officeholders who are allies in the battle to save the American middle class. And most importantly, she will help us move forward in achieving global social justice, rebuilding the U.S. middle class and building a global middle class. She is a renowned authority on women and politics and will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the union's political operations.” Cahill is a Massachusetts native and daughter of a UAW autoworker.
