Cornerstone Government Affairs opens a Concord, NH office. The office will initially include Marc Goldberg, former chief of staff for Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Mike Vlacich, former senior advisor to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Biden appointee at the U.S. Small Business Administration. Goldberg, who managed a team of nearly 50 staffers while working for Sen. Hassan, will assist clients with their public affairs, strategic communications and government relations objectives. Vlacich will leverage his nearly 30 years of expertise and leadership at the state and federal level in public policy strategy, government management and political campaign success. “Adding a twelfth state office is a significant milestone for the firm,” said company president Campbell Kaufman. “Just as we have with our Iowa office, another early presidential nominating and critical battleground state like New Hampshire enhances and complements the state work we’ll be doing in Concord.”
