Hillary Clinton’s campaign is bringing on Gregory Bell, who is leaving the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he served as director of speechwriting for HUD Secretary Julian Castro, an oft-rumored vice presidential candidate, according to three sources with knowledge of the hire.

Bell will serve as a speechwriter under director of speechwriting, Dan Schwerin.

While Castro is known to do a lot of writing for his speeches himself, Bell, whose tenure at HUD predates Castro, took the lead on all of his major speeches, with the two working closely together.

A source who worked with Bell said he and Castro have a great relationship.

“I don’t know if people should read anything into it for VP consideration though I think they will anyway,” said Democratic strategist Maria Cardona.
