Betts taps Hamzy & Krawiecki to manage his campaign

Press release from Whit Betts, the GOP state House candidate in the 78th District (the blue coloring is in the original):


Betts Announces Campaign Managers – Hamzy and Krawiecki
Whit Betts announced that Bill Hamzy and Ed Krawiecki Jr. have agreed to be his campaign managers for the upcoming election for the 78th District House seat.
“I am so happy to have the enthusiastic support and commitment of Bill and Ed who are good friends and whose legislative knowledge will be an enormous help to me.”
In accepting Whit’s offer to be campaign manager Rep. Bill Hamzy said       
 “I have been fortunate enough to have earned the right to represent the people of the 78th District as their state Representative.  I know what is required of a person who serves in this capacity.  There is no doubt in my mind that Whit has the passion, the integrity and the diligence to be a successful and honest representative of the people in this district.  That is why I have agreed to help manage his campaign to be my successor and look forward to helping him get elected in November.”
 Krawiecki said, “I am thrilled to have been asked to lend a hand in helping this outstanding civic leader in his effort to represent the people of Bristol and Plymouth.  Nearly 30 years ago, I was first honored with the privilege of representing the same district.  The work was long and difficult and the problems many.  Today we need a representative to replace Bill Hamzy, who did an outstanding job for the last 16 years, with problems that are growing by the day.  We have a deepening financial crisis which the next legislature must handle straight on.  There is no disagreement, the future will be a challenge and Whit Betts is the perfect candidate and individual to lead us as we search for sound fiscal judgment going forward.  Whit will devote his full time energy to the job.  Whit has the tremendous capacity to hear out everyone and all of their ideas.  Whit has a reputation that is above reproach and when the time comes to vote you can be sure that he will have considered all points of view.
I am honored to have the strong support of Ed and Bill, and to have them join John Letizia (Campaign Treasurer), a conservative democrat, on my campaign team. I will continue to invite and welcome the help of community leaders and people from both Plymouth and Bristol.

Great team! It's such an advantage to Whit (and us!) to have the experience of two former state reps available to him.

Bristol GOP = The Barne$ Party said...

This means virtually nothing. The guy's a lousy candidate. He can get Karl Rove to "manage" his campaign, it's not going to help much. The only thing helping Whit is that this may be a good year for the GOP. We'll see.

And what role will Ward play?

If, If, Witt gets elected, will Krawiecki be his manager still?

A popular Democrat from Plymouth will beat Whit-less easily. This is a classic example of the arrogance of the Barne$es. But what would you expect?

To demoted. You got it. The Plymouth delegates will regret nominating Witt. What a way to pay back Bill for 16 years of valued service. Give away he seat.

Whose side is Krawieki really on?

Another unethical conflict of interest for Ed Kraweicki, as long as he has his current job with the city he should stay out of politics directly.

Someone has to tell Witt what to do if he gets to Hartford.

This is a great candidate. I for one am excited to have him on the ticket. Hamzy and Krawicki are merely icing on the cake to ensure a smooth transition.

If Art had any guts, he'd fire Kawiecki.

If not, the democrats should get rid of Ward.

How is Krawiecki going to run the city and Betts campaign?

Ward will help him with both.
