Campaign staffer proclaims never-previously-elected candidate Timothy Hill as

Last edited Sun May 27, 2012, 07:28 PM - Edit history (1)

More entertaining Republican campaigning from Northeast Tennessee: a campaign staffer working for the never-previously-elected Republican Primary TNGA 3rd House District candidate Timothy Hill has proclaimed his one-time employer as a "statesman" on the candidate Timothy Hill's own Facebook page:

Mark Jones was previously employed as Vice President of Operations for the Right Way Marketing, LLC political call center, specializing in "Live GOTV (Get Out The Vote) Calls, Fundraising Calls, Survey Calls, Robo Calls and E-mail Capture" that was co-owned by Timothy Hill, TNGA Rep. Matthew Hill, and their mother Janet Hill.

During the brief span of its operation during the 2010 campaign season (2009-2010), Right Way Marketing received four grants totaling $18,000 from the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development (for training employees at the former RWM Johnson City location), and soon after completing the last grant compensated employee training session, fired virtually all of the RWM Johnson City employees during April 2010 in order to take advantage of an additional $10,000 forgivable loan that Right Way Marketing received from the Sullivan County Industrial Board, a.k.a Sullivan County Partners NETWORKS for the relocation of RWM business operations to a later location in Kingsport, Tennessee.

Right Way Marketing performed various types of partisan political campaigning for many prominent state level Republican politicians in Tennessee: Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey (2010 Tennessee gubernatorial campaign), TNGA Rep. Matthew Hill (listed on his Tennessee Ethics Commission financial disclosure forms as a director of Right Way Marketing), TNGA Reps. Glen Casada and Debra Maggart, and 2010 Republican Primary TNGA 3rd House District candidate Timothy Hill (reported as being the Right Way Marketing manager during the 2010 campaign season).

Right Way Marketing appears to have ceased business operations as of September 2010.
