Stacie Paxton Cobos, senior VP for Hill+Knowlton Strategies in Washington, has moved to the Climate Reality Project as senior VP for communications and marketing for the Al Gore-founded organization.
Based in DC, the CRP was formed in 2011 by combining the Alliance for Climate Protection and The Climate Project, both groups of former Vice President Al Gore. It works to counter misinformation regarding climate change and educate the public about the subject.
Cobos spent seven years at H+K on accounts like Johnson & Johnson and CTIA-The Wireless Foundation. She was previously national press secretary for the Democratic National Committee and press secretary for Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.).
She worked as a state comms. director for the John Kerry and Joe Lieberman presidential campaigns in 2003-04 and started out on the Hill as press secretary to Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.).
She oversees all communications, creative content and marketing for the CRP.
The principles of liberty, self-government and individual rights are often discussed as matters of history. Last week in Odesa, Ukraine, I was reminded they are also very much matters of the present.

Too many executives view public affairs as a technical task. They think that if their policy is strong, their facts are correct, and their lawyers are ready, the outcome will naturally follow. That’s a dangerous misconception.
A majority of Americans (52 percent) say president Trump launched the invasion of Iran in part to distract voters from the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal. Forty percent disagree, according to Drop Site/Zeteo/Data for Progress survey conducted March 6-8.
