To: Diana Waterman

Hey Diana – I wanted to apologize for not giving you a heads up on the Reince LTE in the Sun. We place things like this on a daily basis all across the country and since I obviously worked closely with the Sun when I was at MDGOP, I just reached out to them out of habit without checking with you.

Hope we didn’t blindside you with it too badly and I’ll make sure to run these things past you in the future.

-Ryan

Ryan Mahoney was a former communications director of the Maryland Republcian Party prior to taking a job at the RNC after the election of Priebus as RNC Chairman. He’s good people and I’m glad that he has taken responsibility and understands where we, as Maryland Republicans, come down on this.
