Tom Bowen, who was deputy campaign manager for Chicago mayor and former White House chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel, has joined Republican firm Mac Strategies Group as senior advisor.
He will handle communications, issues management, coalition development and grassroots activities.
Bowen began a political career as press aide to Barack Obama when he served in the Illinois state senator. He worked with Obama’s communications guru Robert Gibbs.
Bowen also served in D.C. as aide to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif), and reporter at the National Journal under now current NBC political director Chuck Todd.
