Dan Onorato's campaign for governor is getting serious, with a new campaign spokesman in addition to his previously named campaign manager.
The communications director is Oren Shur. He was spokesman for Jay Nixon's winning campaign for Missouri governor last year, for Ben Cardin's U.S. Senate campaign in Maryland in 2006 (defeating current RNC chair Michael Steele), and for fellow Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski's reelection campaign in 2004.
Kevin Kinross is the campaign manager. He was Western Pa director for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, worked on Ed Rendell's reelection in 2006 and managed Onorato's first county exec run in 200, in addition to being friends with Luke Ravenstahl.
As for other names, Shur said "We're putting together a talented team, which we'll announce in the coming weeks."
Other Dem names for the job include Don Cunningham of Lehigh Valley, Tom Knox of Philly, and fellow Pittsburger and Auditor General Jack Wagner.
The main Republican names are Attorney General Tom Corbett of Pittsburgh, former US atty Pat Meehan of Philly, and U.S. Rep. James Gerlach, R-Chester.
