Pat McCrory has hired a new spokesperson.
Monday was the last day for Tom Gardner, McCrory's previous media person, said Jack Hawke, McCrory's chief strategist.
"We're going into the general election and we needed somebody with experience who had dealt with the media before," Hawke said. "Tom was a good man. I don't think he'd ever been a press person before. He did a good job for us during the period of time he was with us."
Hawke said Gardner had another job lined up.
On Thursday, Amy Auth, a former spokeswoman for Sen. Elizabeth Dole and U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, will start as McCrory's new press person. Hawke said the campaign was going to send out a news release about the change, but as of Monday, he didn't have a press person to send a release.
Earler in his campaign, McCrory replaced another high ranking campaign official.

Re: McCrory replaces spokesman
Mr. Hawke is a good man, and a brilliant strategist. However, I believe he unintentionally misspoke. I have been working with the media for many years, as my resume will attest.
