Secretary of State Mollis has snared a seasoned hand in the spokesman business as his new press secretary: Chris Barnett.
Barnett, who from 1991 until just recently was the voice of the Rhode Island Housing & Mortgage Finance Corporation, starts work in his new job today at a starting salary of $64,800, according to Mollis chief of staff John Fleming. Before Rhode Island Housing, Barnett headed public relations for the Picerne Real Estate Group (1984-91).
Barnett succeeds Adam Bozzi, who moved to Mollis’ staff after his former boss, Lt. Gov. Charles J. Fogarty, narrowly lost his gubernatorial bid in November. As previously reported, Bozzi went to Kentucky to work for gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Lunsford, who is among seven candidates vying for the Democratic nomination to face Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher later this year.
