HERE IS THE NEW HARRIS CAMPAIGN TEAM

Thanks to the St. Petersburg Times political blog The Buzz for the news about Katherine Harris' new campaign team:

--- MEDIA CONSULTANTS: Paul Wilson and Steve Grand, founders/owners of Wilson Grand Communications. Their work has been mostly in the northern/central Plains for U.S. Senators Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback (both R - KS), governors Jon Huntsman (R - UT) and John Hoeven (R - ND), and gubernatorial candidate (now Secretary of State) Ken Blackwell in Ohio.

--- CAMPAIGN MANAGER: Glenn Hodas. The bio linked is from he had his own consulting firm; he now is a senior consultant with Wilson Grand Communications.

--- COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: Chris Ingram, President/Founder of Tampa-based PR/media firm 411 Communications. He has served as chief of staff to Congressman Max Burns (R - GA) and was press secretary to the late U.S. Senator Paul Coverdell (R - GA).

--- FIELD DIRECTOR: Pat Thomas, who worked previously as campaign manager for Congressman Kenny Hulshof (R - MO)

--- NATIONAL FUNDRAISING COORDINATOR: Erin DeLullo, founder of the GOP fundraising firm DeLullo & Associates of Alexandria, Virginia. Among her current clients is Ohio Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell. Her bio also mentions an interesting bit for the religious right: DeLullo filed a lawsuit during the early 1990s against the School District of Jefferson County, West Virginia for denying the request by her school's Bible Club to attend the National Day of Prayer. After a two year court battle, a US District Judge forever enjoined the School Board with interfering with the Bible Clubs activities.

--- SENIOR ADVISER: James Lafferty, a former Executive Director of the Christian Seniors Association and spokesman for the House Republican leadership.
