Obama Campaign Manager Joins Brown's Campaign

President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign manager has joined Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown's campaign for governor of Maryland.

Brown announced Monday at a news conference in Largo that Jim Messina will help on all aspects of the campaign. That includes volunteer organizing and fundraising.

Brown also announced that he has raised $1 million since the end of the legislative session in mid-April.

Brown will likely be challenged for the Democratic nomination by Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler, whose formal announcement is expected in September.
