Coutu for Congress Hires Campaign Manager

Chris Coutu continues to gear up for the 2012 election, adding a new campaign manager to his team.

This week, Chris Coutu for Congress campaign announced it has hired Chris Covucci as campaign manager.

“This is an exciting step for the campaign as we gear up for 2012.  Chris Covucci is a great fit for this campaign and brings the experience and energy that will help us win next November,” said Coutu.  “We’re putting together the pieces to take our message to voters and it’s the right message.  This election is about protecting the American Dream.  Joe Courtney has had his chance for nearly three decades, but people are still without jobs, small businesses are still suffering and the government just keeps growing.  Our campaign is going to show voters that we can do better in Washington.”

“I’m proud to join the Coutu campaign.  Chris has been a hard-charging voice for common sense in Hartford and I know he’s going to do the same thing in Washington,” said Covucci.
