You can call him Sean, or you can call him Nick, or you can call him Andy.

Sean Hicks, a member of Lorain Mayor Craig Foltin's congressional campaign staff, used fake names in an awkward attempt to infiltrate the campaign of Foltin's opponent, Betty Sutton.

Hicks, 23, used the alias "Nick Brinda" to sign up as a Sutton campaign volunteer. He attended a recent Sutton campaign event wearing a Sutton campaign sticker on his chest and had his photo taken as he talked with Sutton, who was told at the time that Hicks, or Brinda, was a new volunteer for her campaign.



The Republican, Foltin, is quoted later in the article saying Hicks will not be reprimanded or dismissed.

1. "Hicks will not be reprimanded or dismissed"

He will be promoted and given a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Good little GOP thug. You have the stuff to go all the way to the top. :grr:

2. At least he didn't sign-up as "Dick Pinch." n/t
