Michele Davis, the Bush administration Treasury Dept. public affairs advisor who joined Brunswick Group in 2009, has been enlisted to bolster Mitt Romney’s PR defense of his tenure at Bain Capital, according to a report by BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith.

Davis was assistant secretary of the Treasury for public affairs under Secretary Hank Paulson during the outset of the financial crisis, her second stint in the post during the Bush administration. In between, she was a VP for regulatory policy at Fannie Mae.
Davis is a partner at Brunswick in Washington, D.C., handling clients like BP.
Smith, who joined BF from Politico late last year, reported that Davis will help Romney campaign defend the candidate’s private sector work, which has been a point of attack for President Obama and Democrats.
