MARY DECAMP SHAKES UP CAMPAIGN STAFF

posted by Andrea Kelly

Mary DeCamp won the Green Party's primary in the mayoral race last week, and now she has a new campaign manager.

DeCamp announced she is replacing her primary campaign manager, Mike Cease, for the general election race. In his place will be Dave Croteau, DeCamp's opponent in the primary. She took in 70 percent of the votes cast in the party's mayoral primary race.

The Greens insisted their primary election competition was friendly, and DeCamp keeps that tone in announcing the staff changes.

DeCamp was happy with Cease's work and it was Cease who suggested Croteau come on as campaign manager for the general election, according to a news release announcing the changes.

“We are growing a co-evolution that brings people together; we’re not following ‘status quo politics’ of knee-capping one’s opponent,” DeCamp said in a statement in the news release.
