(Tallahassee, Florida) U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris has named her new U.S. Senate campaign team, replacing President Reagan's political director with a former Tom DeLay spokesman who more recently fought gay marriage in Massachusetts.

On the day DeLay, R-Texas, resigned from Congress in scandal, his former press secretary, James Lafferty was named Harris' senior adviser. Since leaving DeLay's office, Lafferty has also led an attempt to ban gay marriage in Massachusetts and served as executive director of the Christian Seniors Association, a division of the Traditional Values Coalition.

He is married to Andrea Lafferty executive director of Traditional Values Coalition, which is known for its anti-homosexual and anti-abortion agenda.

Chris Ingram was hired as communications director. He made headlines in 2003 when he accused his former boss, U.S. Rep. Max Burns, of illegally firing him. Ingram served as both Burn's congressional chief of staff and as campaign manager at the time. He said Burns broke House rules by firing him from the congressional job based on his performance on the campaign.
