San Diego political consultant John Wainio got good news this week from Campaigns & Elections magazine (the Bible of the Election Biz). His “Tax Man” mailer is one of 3 National finalists for “Best Mail Piece” of 2010 in two categories. The flyer kids candidate Steve Gronke for votes to raise fees in Vista, comparing him to the subject of George Harrison’s famous song. Aiding Wainio in creating the piece were Tish Sjoberg of Planet Grafix (Graphic Design), and Jim Sills of SD Rostra (creative contributions) …..Hey, that’s Me!
