Lewis Reed
Mayoral campaign controversy
The mayoral campaign of St Louis aldermanic President Lewis Reed announced a new campaign manager, January 2013.
Former ACORN director and Communist Party USA member Glenn Burleigh was named to the post.
Former manager Matt Teter is on permanent absence from the campaign.
Teter became Reed's manager after stepping down from his job with the Democratic Party, on the heels of his arrest on suspicion of domestic assault.
After saying Wednesday that the management duties would be split between him and former state Sen. Robin Wright-Jones, Burleigh called back to say he had been named to the post.
In a following interview, Reed said he and Burleigh had been negotiating terms when Burleigh was first asked to describe his role in the campaign.
"Now, he is the manager," Reed said. "Robin has no decision-making or leadership role" in the campaign.
Burleigh stated his his membership with the Missouri/Kansas Communist Party had ended. "I don't (belong) anymore. Everybody has had their wild side; I was younger then," he said.[1]
