The political action committee for Mississippi governor and possible presidential candidate Haley Barbour has brought in seasoned GOP PR operative Jim Dyke as a communications advisor.

Dyke, who runs six-year-old PR and PA shop JDA Frontline out of D.C. and South Carolina, is charged with managing and raising Barbour’s profile nationally.
Haley PAC treasurer Henry Barbour said Dyke will “help us manage the increased national media interest and demand for the governor.”
Last month, the Washington Post named Dyke one of the six top “free-agents” still available for the 2012 campaign.
Dyke was communications director for the Republican National Committee during President George W. Bush’s re-election and press secretary for the RNC prior to that.
Earlier, he was press secretary for Commerce Secretary Donald Evans and worked on K Street as a communications strategist for Quinn Gillespie & Associates.
Barbour is a former lobbyist and RNC chairman.
