Burson Snyder, press gal for Thompson, departs with this: “I support Senator Thompson fully and plan to assist in any way I can in the future, but I plan to pursue a better professional fit.” According to Politico, she didn’t like the “uncertain lines of authority and chain of command within both the communications team and the broader campaign staff.” In my brief contact with her she was professional and helpful. More importantly, she actually had experience working on a campaign and for a candidate. The Thompson press shop badly needs an experienced national campaign communications hand.
