Cole's NRCC Seeks Communications Strategy
Congressman Tom Cole's National Republican Congressional Committee is asking veteran Capitol Hill public relations operatives who now are working in the private sector to volunteer their advice on crafting a communications strategy, The Hill reports.
House Republicans’ loss of 30 seats in the previous cycle was compounded by the exit of Carl Forti, who captained both the NRCC’s communications shop and its independent expenditure campaigns, writing TV ads in a number of races over the past two cycles.
Now, Jessica Boulanger, selected by Cole as Forti’s replacement as communications director, is setting up an informal advisory group to help the party get back on track. At least 10 public relations professionals with decades of Hill experience among them are meeting with Boulanger on Feb. 8 at the Capitol Hill Club, for the first of what they expect will be regular meetings to plot strategy.
