 Anthony DeAngelo |
APCO Worldwide's Anthony DeAngelo has signed on as communications director for Jersey Congressman Andy Kim, who won a 49.9 percent to 48.8 percent squeaker over Republican Tom MacArthur in the November election.
Kim, a Rhodes Scholar who worked for the State Dept., Pentagon and National Security Council, fended off a barrage of TV advertising in which MacArthur criticized him as "not only far left but far out."
In exiting APCO's media relations manager slot after a three-year run, DeAngelo is returning to Capitol Hill, where he served as communications director for Rep. Betty Sutton (D-OH) and press secretary for Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-IL).
Prior to joining APCO, DeAngelo was press secretary at the AFL-CIO.
