Marty Connor no longer has Chad Marlow as a spokesman.
Marlow’s company “terminated its consulting relationship with the Connor For Senate 08 campaign,” he said in an email to reporters just now.
But he added, “The Public Advocacy Group wishes to express it continuing belief that State Senator Martin Connor remains the only qualified candidate running to represent the 25th State Senatorial District in this Fall’s primary and general elections.”
Marlow has been an outspoken critic of Connor’s Democratic opponent, Dan Squadron. He’s also been outspoken about the cozy relationship between the Democrats and the Working Families Party.
This kind of abrupt change usually doesn’t happen when everything is going well, but it’s too early to say how it actually affects the campaign of an incumbent who, often, is his own spokesman.
Here’s the email Marlow sent out:
Members of the press wishing to reach the Connor campaign should contact the campaign manager, Mike Barfield, directly at either (732) ###-#### or #####@####.com.
At this time, The Public Advocacy Group wishes to express it continuing belief that State Senator Martin Connor remains the only qualified candidate running to represent the 25th State Senatorial District in this Fall’s primary and general elections. We also wish to remind the voters of the 25th Senatorial District of the wise words of Thomas Jefferson, which are as applicable in the upcoming election as they were when Jefferson wrote them to John Adams in 1813: “There is… an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents… The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provision should be made to prevent its ascendancy.”
