Tom Scott Departs McMahon Campaign
Tom Scott, a former state lawmaker and veteran of the anti-income tax movement in Connecticut, has left his post with Linda McMahon’s U.S. Senate campaign.
“As Linda’s convention director, Tom did an incredible job that resulted in a 2-to-1 victory last week,” McMahon spokeswoman, Erin Isaac, said in an email this afternoon.
“As we enter the next phase of the campaign, we look forward to Team Linda being just as successful in the primary and general elections. We wish Tom all the best with what are sure to be great opportunities ahead of him. Linda is grateful for his service to the campaign,” Isaac said.
Scott could not be reached for comment.

RUN TOM RUN!
Tom Scott would be an outstanding addition to the Legislature. The voice of reason, common sense and one of the smartest guys in the game. RUN TOM RUN!
Can’t run far enough…
Time for Chris Healey to cash in since the Wilson-Foley juggernaut has jumped the tracks
Run for what? I am intrigued….
I’d love to have Tom Scott back. Where do I send the check?
It’s a big loss for McMahon, I think. Other than the delegate hunt, which he had charge of, her campaign seems listless and unimaginative. Those who know Tom Scott realize that he is the best political strategist in the Connecticut Republican party.
