Erin Napier might not have loved Ben Napier’s political aspirations, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t enthusiastic about helping him. In fact, she told “Sunday Morning” that she was the designer behind Ben Napier’s campaign materials.
That’s not to say all those materials landed as expected, though. Au contraire, and both Ben and Erin poked fun at what went wrong. For starters, Erin explained that because Ben was running as an independent candidate exactly one month before the Fourth of July, they’d gone with the slogan, “Independent’s Day,” which didn’t quite land. “It sort of went over everybody’s heads,” Ben mused. Erin couldn’t hold back giggles at that. “Nobody got it!” she laughed, throwing her head back. That wasn’t the only faux pas. Ben revealed that Erin also made massive banners to be hung on buildings — and once again, many missed the point. “Everybody thought that I was a musician … everybody was like, ‘Oh yeah, you’re going to be playing a show on June 4th, aren’t you?’ Like, ‘No, I’m running for office,'” he recounted.
To be honest, we kind of get why Erin didn’t enjoy the experience all that much — especially if she was behind the slogans and banners that no one understood. That said, she did admit to being super proud of Ben for trying.
