Kiyoshi Martinez: Elephant Man
January 21st, 2008 at 07:23pm Aaron Chambers
Kiyoshi Martinez, who last spring was the Register Star’s Capitol intern, is jumping from journalism into the hotbed of politics.
Kiyoshi has accepted a job with the communications staff of the Senate Republicans. As such, he will help manage Web and press matters for Senate Republican lawmakers, perhaps even Sen. Dave Syverson of Rockford or Sen. Brad Burzynski of Clare.
Kiyoshi is an extremely bright young man — a master of words and the World Wide Web. I’m sure he will excel at this job just as he did when he diligently served this newspaper. The Senate Republicans scored with this catch.
I wish him well.
