WASHINGTON - The grassroots liberal group MoveOn is naming its chief of program, Rahna Epting, as its next executive director. MoveOn told The Associated Press about Epting’s appointment before an announcement expected later Wednesday. Epting has worked for the organization for nearly three years, including heading up its 2018 election program. The announcement comes days before MoveOn hosts its first candidate forum, which is set to draw eight members of the sprawling Democratic field . In 2008, MoveOn’s members voted to endorse Barack Obama, and in 2016, the group’s members voted in large numbers to support Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton.
