| Description | "Behind the scenes, the knives are already out in Pennsylvania’s budding Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Earlier this month, a top aide to Rep. Allyson Schwartz warned an adviser to state Treasurer Rob McCord – a likely primary opponent – that there could be consequences for his political consulting business if he continues to criticize the Philadelphia-area congresswoman behind closed doors.
Rachel Magnuson, Schwartz’s congressional chief of staff, complained of unspecified negative “comments … regarding Congresswoman Schwartz” in an email to McCord spokesman Mark Nevins – a Democratic consultant whose firm, Dover Strategy Group, also works on congressional races. A third party shared the March 12 message chain with POLITICO.
Magnuson copied four top Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee officials on the email, and raised the suggestion that further “ugly” comments about Schwartz could have consequences for the McCord-connected firm.
Schwartz stepped down in February as the finance chair for the DCCC in advance of an expected campaign for governor.
“I get that all is fair in love and war, but the more that people keep sharing with me and others how ugly and beneath you your comments are regarding Congresswoman Schwartz, it makes it next to impossible when good friends at the DCCC and others ask for recommendations for vendors to not be open with your comments regarding Congresswoman Schwartz,” Magnuson wrote in an email." |
