Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney’s former campaign managers will co-lead a Harvard initiative aimed at safeguarding the nation’s elections from future cyberattacks after hackers meddled in last year’s White House race.
Robby Mook, Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, and Matt Rhoades, Mr. Romney’s 2012 campaign manager, will join the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School’s newly established “Defending Digital Democracy” (DDD) Project as “fellows and co-leaders,” the center announced Tuesday.
Along with a team of bipartisan security experts and election lawyers, the former campaign chairs will strive to “identify and recommend strategies, tools and technology to protect democratic processes and systems from cyber and information attacks,” the Belfer Center said in a statement.
“Over the last two years, nearly every election on both sides of the Atlantic has been affected by foreign cyber attacks, including Hillary Clinton’s in 2016,” Mr. Mook said. “This project will find practical solutions to help both parties and civic institutions that are critical to our elections better secure themselves and become more resilient to attacks.”
Mr. Rhoades agreed.
“Cyber attacks on campaigns and elections are a threat to our democracy and affect people of all political stripes,” he said. “This project will bring together not just different parties and ideologies, but subject matter experts from cyber security, national security, technology and election administration to make a difference.”
