Wendy Davis Changes Campaign Managers

Texas Tribune

Gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has announced a major change in her campaign staff. 

Karin Johanson, who’s run numerous national campaigns for Democratic candidates, is stepping down as campaign manager. State , an Arlington Democrat, is taking over.

 

Turner, 41, managed four successful campaigns for Congressman Chet Edwards, a Waco Democrat.  Turner was first elected to the Texas House in 2008 and again in 2012.

 

The Davis campaign did not provide a reason for changing campaign managers.

Former ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº staffer Shelley Kofler was news director, managing editor and senior reporter. She is an award-winning reporter and television producer who previously served as the Austin bureau chief and legislative reporter for North Texas ABC affiliate WFAA-TV.
