Pia Carusone, spokeswoman for the New Hampshire Democratic Party, has left her position to manage Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter's campaign.

"I was thrilled to be asked as there is no better an advocate for middle class Granite Staters than Congresswoman Shea-Porter. She is doing a terrific job serving her constituents and is very well respected in Washington among her colleagues on both sides of the aisle," Carusone said.

Carusone added that the campaign will assemble a "professional operation."

"Her message of pragmatic solutions to job loss in America, the war in Iraq and the healthcare crisis resonates with Granite Staters. We will be putting together a professional operation that puts high value on the grassroots and positive dialogue about the future of our state and country."

Carusone has been with the state party since August 2007.

In 2006, Carusone managed the campaign for Maryland Congressman John Sarbanes and in 2004 she was a field coordinator, in New Hampshire, for Howard Dean.

There is no word whether or not her position will be filled.
