Though only on the national scene since 2009, New York’s Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is already ranked the 15th most influential American politician on social media by TrendPo. This reputation is well-earned her extensive use of social media to keep in frequent touch with her supporters. Some innovative uses her team has made of social media include:
- Drawing attention to current events of interest, like the 2012 Vice-Presidential debate and pending legislative deadlines;
- Helping fellow candidates who have earned Gillibrand’s campaign and fundraising support;
- Keeping her supporters informed of the Senator’s appearances on the TV and in the news;
- Live chats on outlets like Google Hangouts, Facebook and Twitter;
- Initiatives like her Off The Sidelines PAC and the Senator’s book club;
