The following is a press release from the Tony Szewczyk campaign.
What is it with names in Derby?
We went through the whole James Butler Sr. versus James Butler Jr. ballot controversy for the 2011 elections.
And we have something just as good, or better, for this year!
Tony Szewczyk, from Derby, is running for State Senate in the 17th
District. Chances are, unless you are related to Tony, that you can’t
pronounce his name.
You may say no big deal because the voters aren’t likely to confuse “Szewczyk” with “Crisco” on the ballot – not even close.
There is a problem though when the name voters hear (in this case Chef Chick) doesn’t match up in their minds to what they see on the ballot. Szewczyk just simply doesn’t come out as Chef Chick for most people.
To help out the voter, Szewczyk has adopted a campaign logo that
actually tells people how to pronounce his name. We can only wonder if
this is a first!
