connie mackFormer Republican Congressman Connie Mack IV has joined Levick in Washington as an executive VP to boost the crisis PR specialist's lobbying operation.

Mack served Florida's 14th congressional district from 2005-13. After losing a Senate bid in 2012, he joined DC lobbying firm Liberty Partners Group in 2013.

He's providing political and legislative counsel and fostering ties between client and lawmakers at Levick, which made a big lobbying play in January by taking over much of Dow Lohnes Government Strategies' book of business. Levick named former Dutko CEO Mark Irion as president last year.

Mack's father was Sen. Connie Mack III and great-grandfather was Connie Mack of professional baseball fame.
