Starting Monday, Rep. Mike Turner will have a new communications director – Brad Mascho, who was had worked for several years for Ohio Rep. Paul Gillmor.
Gillmor, a Republican from Tiffin in northwestern Ohio, died Sept. 5.
"I am excited to use my abilities to advance Congressman Turner’s goals for the future and look forward to my new opportunity to continue serving Ohioans," Macho said today in an e-mail to reporters.
Turner's former communications director, Andy Bloom, left on Halloween day after exactly four yeas with the Centerville Republican. Bloom, a former broadcaster, accepted a position with Sports Radio 610 WIP, a CBS Radio program in Philadelphia.
"I leave Washington neither jaded nor cynical and with all the enthusiasm that I came here with in 2003. My return to radio is for family and financial reasons," Bloom said in his farewell e-mail to reporters.
Brad did an excellent job for Rep. Gillmor and I look forward to working with him again now that he is in my mayor's congressional office... Congrats Brad!
