Hootkin also continues to advise national, state and local political candidates, and since 2006, has served as a political consultant to CBS News during primary and general elections.

Papa, who joined GSG in 2012, runs the Washington, D.C. office, handling strategy for CEOs and other C-suite executives in industries such as health care, financial services, defense, technology, education, and environment.

A veteran of the Obama White House and Capitol Hill, Papa has helped both corporate and non-profit clients navigate some of the toughest issues in D.C., such as financial sector reform to immigration to health care to civil liberties.

“Beyond their significant contribution to our firm’s growth, both Julie’s and Jim’s commitment to our people and our clients have been extraordinary,” said Jon Silvan, founding partner and CEO.
