Allbaugh Joins Giuliani Campaign As Senior Advisor
The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee announced today that former FEMA Director Joe Allbaugh will serve as Senior Advisor to the Giuliani campaign. Allbaugh, a Blackwell native and Oklahoma State University graduate, will advise the campaign on general strategy and homeland security.
"Rudy Giuliani is the only candidate who will keep America on offense in the Terrorists' War on Us," said Allbaugh. "The leadership he showed after 9/11 was an inspiration not only to New Yorkers but to the country. He knows what it takes to keep America safe, and as President, he will ensure that our country never goes back on defense in this war."
"Joe and I worked closely together in the aftermath of 9/11 to ensure that everything possible was being done to help victims and their families," Giuliani said. "He has significant experience in emergency management and I will look to him for sound advice and expertise."
Allbaugh is president and CEO of the Allbaugh Company, LLC, which formulates corporate strategies designed to create new opportunities and expand competitive advantage for private sector clients. Allbaugh managed President Bush's 2000 campaign and served as the FEMA Director under Bush until March 2003. Prior to moving to Washington, D.C., he was Chief of Staff to then-Governor Bush of Texas. Allbaugh's career in politics began in the 1970s when he was an aide to Henry Bellmon. He worked for the Republican State Committee and was director of organization in Dr. Robert Kamm's 1978 race for the U. S. Senate. He later became Bellmon's campaign manager and chief of staff. He serves on the board of the National Rifle Association.
