Obama Campaign Names South Carolina Communications Director

Kevin Griffis, South Carolina communications director for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign

COLUMBIA, SC — Barack Obama’s campaign has named Kevin Griffis as its South Carolina communications director.

The former Atlanta political reporter most recently served as communications director for the Democratic candidate in Arizona’s 2006 U.S. Senate campaign. Griffis went to Arizona after having directed communications for Virginia’s Democratic coordinated campaign during Gov. Tim Kaine’s successful 2005 gubernatorial run.

“Kevin’s long-time service to Democratic politics, experience in the South and commitment to changing this country make him an excellent addition to our growing South Carolina team,” the Obama campaign’s South Carolina State Director Stacey Brayboy said.

In addition to the experience listed above, Griffis has also directed communications for the Democratic Party of Virginia.

From 2000-2003, Griffis was the political reporter for Atlanta’s independent newsweekly, Creative Loafing. In 2002, he won the national award for news story of the year from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, an industry group that includes as its members newspapers such as The Village Voice and the Chicago Reader. Griffis’ story uncovered tens of thousands of dollars of illegal campaign contributions made to the then-Atlanta mayor’s re-election campaign.

Griffis is a graduate of Beloit College in Beloit, Wisc. and has family in Lancaster, Kershaw and James Island, South Carolina.

20040520 This week’s Creative Loafing “Scalawag” title goes to Kevin Griffis

20040520 This week’s Creative Loafing “Scalawag” title goes to Kevin Griffis

This week’s Creative Loafing “Scalawag” title goes to Kevin Griffis


This week, Creative Loafing takes the unusual step of bestowing the Scalawag title on one of its own: me, Kevin Griffis.

The shadowy group that uses its black arts to pick the Scalawag chose me for its dubious "honor" because I'm leaving my post as the paper's political reporter for a life in -- surprise, surprise, everyone -- politics.

The paper has a right to be angry. This is a crushing blow to Atlanta's venerable alt-weekly…

[…]

I was fawned over and feared by the left and the right, respectively, and there are politicians across this great land who will finally sleep tonight knowing that the most thorough and tough-minded journalist they ever crossed swords with is laying down his pen.

[…]

In case you're wondering, I'm departing primarily because of my daughter. Politicians need babies to kiss, and I finally have one. (In fact, she's willing to freelance for a reasonable fee.)

But does the staff think otherwise? Do they believe I've let my success, of mythic proportion though it is, persuade me that I can make a difference on a political campaign? Do they fancy me a fool, one who hasn't learned anything about the cynicism of politics from my own reporting?

"Goodbye, Kevin," they're probably saying, "and good riddance." And a good riddance to them! It would take 10 reporters to replace me -- and try as they might, they will fail!

For rivaling the spinelessness of the politicians he's covered
