DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY WINNERS KATHI COZZONE AND BILL SCOTT FILE JOINT CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 6/08/07

On May 15th, voters in the Democratic Primary nominated Kathi Cozzone and Bill Scott for County Commissioner. Today, the two candidates registered a joint campaign committee with voter services. The committee, called the Cozzone/Scott Team, will be chaired by State Senator Andy Dinniman. Kathi and Bill will run a unified campaign for Chester County Commissioner, sharing a common staff, website and bank account.

“For the first time in our Party’s history, our Candidates are united in every way. Kathi and I will not only share a common purpose, but we will walk a common campaign trail. We plan to present a comprehensive case why, together, we represent the best choice to be the Majority on the Board of Commissioners.”
--- Bill Scott

“I am thrilled that the primary voters paired Bill and I together. Bill’s excellent record as an elected official and my extensive experience in financial management make us a qualified team to lead the County. As the old saying goes, together we are greater than the sum of our parts.”
--- Kathi Cozzone

“On the heels of our historic 2006 victories, we expect even more outstanding results in 2007 by our county-wide Democratic candidates. Following a competitive and hard-fought primary election, Bill Scott and Kathi Cozzone have demonstrated their ability and commitment to be a winning team this fall. I am further encouraged by the unity that Bill and Kathi have shown in pledging to run as a team and now following through on that promise. This year marks the best opportunity for two Democrats to be elected County Commissioner. With the support of a steadily growing and competitive Chester County Democratic organization, I’m confident we can succeed with this winning team in November.
--- Michele Vaughn, Democratic Party Chair
