Former Bush administration spokeswoman and TV journalist Pam Stevens has moved to the Fix the Debt campaign as its national press secretary.
Stevens, who worked press for the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August, was an assistant press secretary/director of TV at the White House and served the Dept. of Health and Human Services during President George W. Bush's two term. She later moved to the State Department as deputy assistant secretary of state for public affairs under Condoleezza Rice.
The well-financed Fix the Debt push is not cheering the fiscal cliff deal reached by Congress and the White House last week. "Clearly, it is not yet time for standing ovations and slaps on the back," said a statement from co-chairs Mayor Mike Bloomberg, ex-Sen. Judd Gregg, ex-Gov. Ed Rendell and campaign head Maya MacGuineas. They added that "a new year and new Congress bring new hope" that a deal to reduce the federal debt will be reached.
Stevens was previously a producer at CNN and worked in the Reagan White House and George H. W. Bush Commerce Dept.
Jim Romano, who was communications director to former North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue, is VP of communications for Fix the Debt. The group has worked with Burson-Marsteller's Proof division on its advertising campaign. |
