Shake-up in the Foltin Campaign

CAMPAIGN MANAGER OUT

From Cleveland.com:

Lorain Mayor Craig Foltin is without a campaign manager in his bid to get elected to Congress.

Ira Treuhaft, who was Foltin's campaign manager for about two months, is leaving Ohio and going home to New York City. Treuhaft, 27, said he and Foltin agreed that it would be best if Treuhaft no longer continued as campaign manager.

"I have to go home to the New York area to pursue other opportunities at this point, "Treuhaft said. "Im confident the campaign is in great shape."

Foltin, a Republican, is seeking election to the 13th congressional district seat now held by Rep. Sherrod Brown, who is not seeking re-election. Foltin said Treuhaft parted on good terms.

"He's a good guy," Foltin said. The mayor said he expects to hire a new campaign manager by the end of the week.


Ok, it is never a good sign for any campaign to have a problem like this in June. Obviously, having to part with a campaign manager is very troubling, as he is in charge of everything. I hope that Foltin can get things together, because this is bad time for a change like this. I have a source in the campaign that said Foltin has already hired a new campaign manager, but I was unable to get the man's name. Hopefully, the campaign can continue on without much of a problem, because Foltin has a great shot to pick up a seat for the GOP in November.
