Campana is one of several Republican challengers to Bennet, the Democratic senior senator who currently holds the seat and is running for re-election in November. Conway served as former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign manager, and has been one of his closest counselors. Conway also became the first woman to successfully run a presidential campaign in 2016 when Trump won.
"I am proud to have Kellyanne on our team," Campana said in a tweeted statement. "She brings unrivaled experience and expertise to this race."
