Jennifer Hoelzer, former communications director and deputy chief of staff for Oregon Senator Ron Wyden has opened IOC Strategies in Los Angeles.
She is targeting interest groups, celebrities, local governments and companies in need of PA and issues management services.
The six-year vet of liberal Democrat's office is remembered for pushing his bipartisan "Healthy Americans Act," which was pitched as an alternative to Obamacare and his OPEN Act aimed at copyright reform.
Hoelzer says her Los Angeles base will be a "real game changer as few in Hollywood seem to understand the power their national profiles could command in Washington."
Prior to working with Wyden, Hoelzer was press aide to Congressmen Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.).
She also was writer and producer at the McLaughlin Group, PA program.
