Tyrone Gayle

Tyrone Gayle (1987-2018) began his career working as a driver and body man for U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va). Reflecting on this position, Gayle revealed that he “drove Kaine, kept him on schedule, briefed him on who he was meeting, and kept up his morale.” Gayle worked briefly for the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee and joined the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as a spokesman in the 2014 midterm elections. During the 2016 Presidential campaign, Gayle served as a spokesman for Hillary Clinton. When Clinton was selecting a running mate for Vice President, Gayle vouched for Senator Kaine, whom Clinton ultimately selected as her running mate. At the time of his death from colon cancer, Gayle was working as the Washington Press Secretary for then-Senator Kamala Harris
