Update 8/28: We just posted this passage in a longer post today:
Yesterday we asked the question Does Brian Davis have a part-time campaign manager? Since Biers accompanied the Taxpayers League's Phil Krinkie to talk to the MFU board on Saturday, we are assuming that Biers is indeed splitting his time between the Davis campaign and the TPL's anti-ballot measure crusade. [end update]
There's a new press release up on the official blog of the endorsed GOP candidate in the First that lists Brad Biers as the press contact. Biers has served as Davis's campaign manager for much of the year.
However, after receiving a tip from a Republican reader in the district that Biers was working for the Taxpayers League, we did indeed find Biers listed as the contact person for a Taxpayers League press release dated August 25 and one from August 20.
Biers television ad and production company, Capital Communications, has been listed on FEC reports as being paid for communications consulting (unlike the Walz, Day and Demmer campaigns, which hired staff, the Davis campaign has only had consultants on board).
The number on all three releases is the same as Biers' number from the Blaine political and media consultant's 2006 state house bid.
We're curious what's up with that. Is Biers working part-time for Davis? Has Davis hired a new campaign manager? Inquiring minds want to know. Perhaps the district press could make a few calls and see if the Davis campaign has undergone some shifting of personnel.
