As director of Hispanic press for Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign, Domenzain oversaw campaign outreach to Hispanic voters. Obama was particularly successful in this demographic when compared to his competitor Mitt Romney (R): "Not only did Obama trounce Romney among Latinos 71 to 27 percent, but a record 11.2 million Latinos turned out to vote — making up 10 percent of the electorate for the first time ever."[4] On the campaign, Domenzain "combined her background in policy, media and politics by developing and implementing a 'first of its kind' metrics-based, bilingual communications plan, which was, in part, credited for delivering a decisive share of the Hispanic vote."[5]
In August 2013, Domenzain became a principal at The Raben Group in Washington, D.C.[6] She left the group in January 2015.[2]
