Patti Solis Doyle (born August 23, 1965) is an American political operative and senior adviser to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, where she is the chief of staff to Joe Biden, Obama's vice presidential choice.

Previously she was a longtime aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Having started her association with the former First Lady as her assistant during her husband Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, she eventually became campaign manager for Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign, her 2006 re-election campaign and her 2008 presidential campaign from its inception until she was replaced by Maggie Williams in February 2008.

Early life and career

She is the youngest of six children. Her parents, Santiago and Alejandrina Solis, were immigrants from Monterrey, Mexico. She grew up in the Chicago area, attending the Notre Dame High School for Girls and Northwestern University. Her oldest brother, Daniel Solis, is a Chicago alderman representing the 25th ward.

Doyle entered politics working on Richard M. Daley's campaign for Mayor of Chicago. Later she went with David Wilhelm (Bill Clinton's campaign manager) from Chicago to Little Rock, where she became Hillary Rodham Clinton's assistant. She is credited with coining the term "Hillaryland", the close circle of Clinton advisers, dating back to 1992.cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/13/nyregion/13patti.html?_r=1&oref=slogin|title=Adviser to Senator Clinton Stays in Shadows | author=Raymond Hernandez | publisher="The New York Times" | date=2006-12-13 | accessdate=2008-02-10]

Hillary Clinton presidential campaign

Appointing Solis Doyle as her presidential campaign manager, Clinton said, "I have complete confidence and trust in her as a person and as a professional. She was the natural choice for me when it came to picking someone to run this campaign". Solis Doyle was the first Hispanic woman to manage a presidential campaign.cite news |url=http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/02/lynn_sweets_patti_solis_doyle.html|title=Patti Solis Doyle's profile|date=14 June 2007|publisher=Chicago Sun Times|accessdate=2008-02-23] [cite news |url=http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2007/01/05/new-congress-old-fights-choosing-teams-for-2008/|title= New Congress, Old Fights; Choosing Teams for 2008 |date=2007-01-06|publisher=Wall Street Journal|accessdate=2007-10-26]

Her removal from the top position was reported to have been acrimonious, and some inside the Clinton camp have accused Solis Doyle of managing the campaign "into a ditch".

[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/08/us/politics/08recon.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss] It has been reported that Senator Clinton and Solis Doyle have not spoken since.

Barack Obama presidential campaign

On June 16, 2008, the Obama campaign announced Solis Doyle would join the campaign as the chief of staff for his vice presidential nominee, revealed on August 23, 2008 to be Joe Biden. The news angered some in the Clinton circle who felt the move was intended to send a message that Clinton would not be asked to be Obama's vice presidential nominee.
