Kinky Friedman campaign gets new director after botched scheme involving Willie Nelson
One mischievous email later and the Kinky Friedman campaign has a new director.
Political consultant Rania Batrice, who previously worked with Friedman in his bid for agriculture commissioner, will helm the campaign.
A Morning News report on an internal Friedman campaign email played a role in the shake up. In the correspondence, the campaign plotted using an introduction to country music legend Willie Nelson as bait to lure Democratic primary challenger Jim Hogan out of the race.
The plan never came to fruition and Cleve Hattersley, the campaign’s spokesman who was quoted discussing the botched maneuver, called the idea a mistake and a poor reflection of the campaign.
