Former Nebraska governor, senator, and decorated Vietnam war hero Bob Kerrey has joined the Carmen Group as client project leader.
David Carmen, who has known Democrat Kerrey for a decade, believes his firm's clients will benefit from Kerrey's "acute understanding of national security."
Carmen was once PR director of President Reagan's Citizens for America grassroots organization.
Kerrey, 69, attempted a political comeback in 2012 but his effort to retake his Nebraska's senate seat was thwarted by Tea Party-backed Deb Fischer.
He served as president of the New School in New York for a nine-year period that ended in 2010.
While credited for doubling the university’s endowment, Kerrey had a somewhat rocky relationship with the student body.
As a member of the elite Navy SEAL team, Kerrey earned the Congressional Medal of Honor. After exiting the Senate, he was named to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the U.S., the 9/11 Commission.
