Prominent Democratic Party fundraiser Julianna Smoot will replace Desiree Rogers as social secretary, the White House announced today in a statement.

Reports Fox, with some background on Smoot:
Smoot served as national finance director for Obama’s presidential campaign, helping raise $32.5 million during one quarter in 2007. She has also served as finance director for then-Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle and John Edwards’ successful Senate bid in 1998.
Heading off expected criticism of the new aide’s fundraising background, a senior White House official told Fox News that the social secretary for former President George W. Bush, Lea Berman, also had a fundraising pedigree.
Smoot’s appointment comes just three months after an embarrassing security breakdown at a state dinner in which a celebrity-seeking couple from northern Virginia got into the exclusive Nov. 24 affair on the South Lawn without a formal invitation, despite heavy White House security.
