Though state Republican Party Chairman Allen Weh didn’t call me back yesterday, the party sent out a news release containing these comments from him on the departures of former Executive Director Marta Kramer and outgoing Communications Director Jonah Cohen:
“Marta has done a tremendous job for (the state Republican Party) under difficult circumstances, and she’s earned a break. For those who share my admiration for her tireless efforts, I fully expect you will see her return to a responsible political position in the 2008 election cycle,” he said. “Jonah Cohen also has done an exceptional job for us, but with a PhD and an aspiration for academia I knew he wouldn’t be with us forever. We’re grateful we had him, and thoroughly enjoyed his creative writing. Both of these dedicated people will be missed and we wish them all the best.”
