Glover Park Group, the D.C. firm set up by Clinton and Gore alums in 2001, has brought on veteran Democratic spokesman Howard Wolfson to head a New York push for the firm.

Wolfson, a native New Yorker who was communications director for Senators Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer and chief of staff to Rep. Nita Lowey (all D-N.Y.), joins GPG from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, where he was executive director.

The firm has also tapped Clinton Administration veteran Lorrie McHugh-Wytkind to head its D.C. public affairs practice. Wytkind was deputy White House press secretary for media affairs and operations, chief spokesperson for Secy. of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala among other posts in the administration, and earlier was press secretary for Sen. Edward Kennedy when she served on the Labor and Human Resources Committee.

GPG was set up in 2001 by former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart and Gore for President team veterans Carter Eskew and Mike Feldman.

Clients have included the Pentagon, US Steel, the Assn. of Trial Lawyers of America and Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.).
