DEMOCRATIC HEAVY HITTER JOINS DAVIS TEAM AS CAMPAIGN MANAGER
Johanson is a veteran of the DCCC and Tammy Baldwin Senate campaign. Some say it speaks volumes that national players are paying attention and Davis could benefit from that infrastructure.
From the Davis Campaign’s release:
“The Wendy R.
Davis Campaign for Governor today announced Karin Johanson would join the team as
campaign manager. A veteran of political campaigns, Karin managed the historic
2012 campaign of United States Senator Tammy
Baldwin.
“Karin has proven that she can win tough races. She has
taken on and beaten a full arsenal of failed leadership, despite millions in
negative ads,” said Davis Communications Director Bo Delp.
“Karin will be an excellent and outstanding addition to this historic and
exciting campaign. We are honored that Karin will be joining us as we continue
our fight to make the promise of Texas available to all families.”
Karin has more than 25 years of electoral and legislative
experience, including: serving as Chief of Staff and Press Secretary to
Congressman Steny Hoyer and as the executive director of
the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee in 2006. Karin comes to the Davis
campaign from the Dewey Square Group – where she served as a principal.
As the executive director of the DCCC, Karin designed one
of the largest congressional voter turnout operation ever, an effort covering
36 congressional districts. The Washington Post called her one of
the key architects of the Democratic takeover of the House.”
