Ruth resigns

Posted at 10:08 AM on April 27, 2006 by Bob Collins

I've never met DFL communications boss David Ruth. In fact, I don't think I've ever met any of the current DFL honchos. But I've seen people post good things about his work on various blogs, so here's the deal: he's quitting.

DFL Communications Director David Ruth today announced his resignation, effective in mid-May. “I'm looking to devote more of my attention to family matters and personal interests," said Ruth, who is exploring a career opportunity that is not yet public. "During my tenure with the DFL Party, we have won special elections, held the Republicans accountable for their failed policies and promoted our positive DFL message statewide. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the DFL Party, and I look forward to watching them achieve all their goals in upcoming elections."

As a casual observer, that job must have a high burnout factor because this seems like the gazillionth DFL communications director since I moved to Minnesota. The GOP seems to spin through 'em fairly regularly too.

Can't be an easy job.
