A political strategist known for helping a Tea Party challenger unseat former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor will manage the gubernatorial campaign of Republican Dan Cox.
Cox announced Friday that Zach Werrell will serve as his campaign manager, touting his “extensive statewide campaign experience with national contacts.”
Werrell managed the 2014 congressional primary election campaign of Republican Dave Brat of Virginia, who ousted Cantor in a stunning upset.
Cox faces Democrat Wes Moore in Maryland’s November election.
Werrell, who grew up in Southern Maryland, is co-author of “How to Bag a RINO: The Whiz Kids Who Brought Down House Majority Leader Eric Cantor,” a reference to the term “Republican in Name Only.” The book is described as a detailed look at the Brat campaign, and “why it is a model for similar insurgent GOP campaigns across America as grassroots Republicans fight to take back their party, and the country.”
In 2015, Werrell described himself to the magazine “In These Times” as “a hardcore libertarian” who “was turned on to politics in high school” when Rep. Ron Paul ran for president in 2008.
He explained Brat’s grassroots strategy this way: “One: Go to events where like-minded people might be. Two: Introduce Dave and sign them up as volunteers. Three: Get them to come door-knocking or phone-calling, or to host an event. Rinse and repeat. Given our funding disadvantage, we had to maximize the resource we did have — manpower.”

Would that this could be done with successor Steve Scalise who even after the rats literally nearly murdered him can only hide and push removing Confederate names from US military venues. I for one will vote for his contemptible donkey party opponent this fall as a protest I encourage others to do the same.
Eric Cantor; a Blast from the past!
Wasn’t he palling around with Paul Ryan?
And fundraising. You cannot win without being on radio, tv, social media, and mailers to registered voters
Fraud,plant.Voting for a democrat will not help our cause.
Getting rid of RINOs cuts our enemies by half.
One of the best votes I ever cast.
Taking out Eric Cantor saved the country.
The Republican leadership had planned to pass Rubio’s amnesty the very next day using Democrat and Assistant Democrat votes, but pulled the vote after this happened.
If only other districts had followed our lead and dumped their own Bush League Republicans.
Right you are.
NEVER vote for a Democrat.
The Democrats had an intra-party war and the Bolshevik wing won. Since at least 2007, the Bolsheviks control the Democrat Party, and many rank and file Democrats have been slow to catch on.
I am done voting GOP cucs just because thyey have a R label and you, you ass should apologize as I expect you are a paid GOP Nat Com hack.
He’s a good kid, but had basically nothing to do with what brought down Eric Cantor, and if you’re expecting him to bring that magic mojo you will be quite disappointed.
