Hahn names campaign team

Councilwoman Janice Hahn has put together her campaign team in her quest for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, using people who have gotten her in office as well as those with statewide experience.
Heading the team as chief strategist is Garry South, who had been working on the gubernatorial campaign of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, until he dropped out of the race. South has run several statewide campaigns, including that of former Gov. Gray Davis.
Joe Trippi will serve as media-social networking consultant. Trippi has worked in California politics for decades, but is perhaps best known for his work with Howard Dean and his run for president and was the first to show the fundraising power of the internet.
Hahn also has hired two people who have long been with her, pollster John FAirbanks and consultant John Shallman. Shallman will be senior campaign consultant.,
Her campaign manager will be Michael Trujillo, who has been very active locallky _ particularlky with the 2005 and 2009 electrions of Mayor Antonio Villoaraigosa and, last year, for Sen. Hillary Clinton.
