Andy Hopson has signed on as director of communications for Republican Gavin Rollins, who is running to succeed the retiring Congressman Ted Yoho in Florida.
Most recently serving as PR director for Livestream Prom, a platform to enable high school students to hold senior proms during the COVID-19 crisis, Hopson was VP at Ogilvy, president of EvansGroup PR, president of Publicis Dialog, president/CEO of northeast region for Burson-Marsteller, managing director/Chicago for Ruder Finn and president of Noble.
The Rollins post marks a return to the political scene for Hopson, who began his career as a DC press secretary for conservative Republican Dan Marriott, who represented the Salt Lake City area.
