ben chandlerFormer four-term Democratic congressman from Kentucky Ben Chandler has joined with two Bluegrass State PR pros to form Omni Advocacy Group in Fort Mitchell, K.Y.

Chandler served in the House from 2004-13, departing after a loss to Republican Andy Barr in November. He was attorney general and state auditor of Kentucky, as well.

Chandler, who will focus on government relations and advocacy work for the firm, joins former reporters Pat Crowley and Jay Fosset, along with government finance guru Greg Greene, who run Strategic Advisors, parent to the new Omni Advocacy Group.

Four-year-old Strategic Advisors said Chandler will operate a central Kentucky office for the firm, taking on government relations assignments previously handled by SA, which returns to focus on PR and digital.
