There’s been another change in leadership at the campaign of Republican 2nd Congressional District candidate Ed Tinsley.
Chris Collins, who Tinsley hired as his campaign manager a little more than a month ago, resigned today, Tinsley confirmed in a statement released by his campaign. Tinsley gave no reason for Collins’ resignation, and Collins said he had no comment.
Grant Hewitt, who served as Tinsley’s campaign manager during the primary and until Collins replaced him last month, will again fill the role of campaign manager. While Collins was running the campaign, Hewitt served as a deputy campaign manager.
“Chris helped the campaign during a critical period of transition between the primary and general election,” Tinsley said. “Chris worked on a daily basis with Grant Hewitt, who benefited from his experience. Grant has been with the campaign since January and will now resume the role of campaign manager, a title which he held during the primary.”
Tinsley and his opponent, Democrat Harry Teague, both replaced their campaign managers in July. Teague fired Brad Foster and replaced him with Frank Costanzo.
