When Nathan Johnson and Jared Milrad sat down for an on camera interview three weeks ago in Chicago, they had no idea it would be for Hillary Clinton’s first campaign video.
“We didn’t know it was for the launch!” Milrad told José Díaz-Balart on Tuesday’s Rundown.
Johnson added, “They asked us questions about how we got to know each other and what our plans were for getting married. That’s the footage they used for the campaign video.”
The couple plan to get married this summer. “We’re just two people starting our lives, trying to find our way in the middle-class, pay back students loans, and deal with other issues so many Americans deal with,” Milrad said.
The two also recently extended Hillary an invitation to their wedding, adding on msnbc that they’ve even included a “plus one” for the former secretary of state.

— Jared Milrad (@JaredMilrad) April 13, 2015During her first campaign for the White House, Clinton publicly opposed same-sex marriage; but now, her position, like the president’s, has evolved.
“The community should see the commitment that she has shown at the world stage, even as Secretary of State saying that gay rights are human rights,” Milrad said. “I think Hillary Clinton’s commitment on this issue is very strong and we’re proud to support her.”

I am a bilingual national reporter specializing in issues affecting Latino communities in the U.S., the Caribbean and Latin America. Experience I have produced hundreds of stories across digital, radio and broadcast platforms throughout my career — reporting on everything from elections, natural disasters and immigration to pop culture trends, social justice issues and breaking news. I'm best known for my coverage of the crises affecting Puerto Rico, including its reconstruction process after Hurricane Maria, the island’s financial crisis and more. After graduating from the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University with a bachelor's degree in broadcast and digital journalism in 2016, I joined the inaugural cohort of students who helped launch the Spanish-language bilingual journalism master’s program at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. Awards I was a 2024 finalist for the NAHJ/University of Florida award in investigative journalism for my reporting uncovering the challenges Puerto Rican families face in caring for their elders, given that the island’s population is aging faster than most places on Earth and fragmented by migration. I served as the lead reporter and writer of NBC News' 2022 Hispanic Heritage Month project “Who’s Latino? Amid growing numbers the definition is expanding,” which was awarded an NAHJ Ñ Award for best Latino issues story for print/digital.
