SENATOR MCCAIN ANNOUNCES NEW MEDIA TEAM
Stevens & Schriefer Group And Strategic Perception Align With Arizona Senator
ARLINGTON, VA - U.S. Senator John McCain's exploratory committee today announced that Stuart Stevens and Russ Schriefer of the Stevens & Schriefer Group and Fred Davis of Strategic Perception will join Mark McKinnon and the firm of Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm as media consultants to the Arizona Senator's exploratory committee.
Russ Schriefer will oversee the day-to-day media operation and Davis will serve as the exploratory committee's chief creative consultant.
Stuart Stevens has built his political career helping elect more governors and senators than any other Republican media consultant.
Stevens said, "John McCain represents a brand of common sense conservatism that resonates with Republican voters because it is based on shared values. I look forward to communicating those messages on behalf of the Senator."
Russ Schriefer has been a successful political strategist and media consultant for over twenty years. He has consulted on countless campaigns throughout the country and has extensive presidential experience. Schriefer worked on the team that helped produce advertisements for Bush-Cheney '00 and '04.
"It is indeed an honor to work with Senator McCain and his team," said Schriefer. "The Senator is the only true conservative in the race that can defeat the Democrats and maintain control of the White House."
Fred Davis is one of the top creative, media consultants in the country. He worked closely with the Bush-Cheney '04 advertising and strategy teams, and has helped numerous political candidates deliver their viewpoints with great precision.
"John McCain represents the kind of committed conservative leader both our party and nation need," said Davis. "It will be my honor to help Senator McCain earn the Republican nomination and represent our party in the general election."
Senator McCain stated that the assembled media team is well respected and highly regarded, and will help communicate his conservative values. "These guys are the best in the business, and should I seek the presidency, I am confident that they will help deliver our message of common sense conservatism to voters across this great land. I look forward to working with such a distinguished group of individuals."
