John LaBombard, who most recently was communications director for Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ), joins ROKK Solutions as senior vice president.
Prior to joining Sinema’s staff, LaBombard was communications director for former Sen. Claire McCaskill. He also served as deputy campaign manager for McCaskill’s unsuccessful reelection bid in 2018.
LaBombard’s other Capitol Hill experience includes a stint as deputy press secretary for Sen. Jon Tester.
He has led strategic communications on issues ranging from defense contracting to curbing sexual violence on college campuses and health care issues.
“John has a successful track of communicating in challenging political environments and his extensive work with ‘red state’ Democrats brings a unique perspective that will complement our existing team and deliver added strategic value for our clients,” said ROKK partner Kristen Hawn.
