Joan Barry Adds Campaign Staff

David Knight leaves the Chris Koster Attorney General campaign to lead Joan Barry’s state senate campaign.

Geen Park, MO- Today, Joan Barry hired for two important positions in her bid to fill Senator Kennedy’s seat in the upcoming November election. David Knight joins the Barry team as Campaign Manager and Mike Coleman as Finance Director.

” I am excited to add both David and Mike to the team. David’s grassroots experience is tremendous and will provide great leadership to the organization. He most recently worked for John Edwards in Iowa where he managed an office of five employees and oversaw an eight county region. Edwards, although being significantly outspent by Clinton and Obama, took second in the Iowa caucus.

Mike came highly recommended from the Missouri Democratic Party and various local campaigns where he served as a Finance Director. My first financial quarter illustrated a broad base of financial support in the community and with Mike joining the team, incoming contributions are going to increase significantly. These two seasoned campaigners will greatly enhance the direction and ability of the organization.”

The Barry Campaign continues to build on their long standing support, raise money and gain momentum that will overall lead to a strong win in November.
