PATRICK MURPHY BUILDS TEAM FOR CONGRESSIONAL BID
Campaign Manager, General Consultant Come Aboard
NEW HOPE, PA--August 25, 2005--Patrick Murphy, Democratic Candidate for Pennsylvania's Eighth Congressional District, today announced the addition of two key players to his campaign team.
Josh Nanberg joins as Campaign Manager. Nanberg is a veteran of two presidential campaigns, including working on the Kerry-Edwards campaign as research director in Pennsylvania. He has previously worked on House races in Massachusetts and Utah, Hillary Clinton's senate race in New York, and co-managed the successful campaign of former California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley. In 2003, Nanberg served as Political Director for the Montgomery County Democratic Committee, overseeing the campaigns of 12 candidates for county-wide "row offices."
"Josh Nanberg brings a fresh perspective and a proven track record, both locally and nationally," Murphy said. "I'm thrilled to have him as one of the key leaders on my team."
Pete Giangreco also joins the team as a General Consultant. Giangreco, a partner in The Strategy Group, has worked with candidates including Sen. Barack Obama (IL), Governors Mark Warner (VA) and Mike Easley (NC), and Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley. Giangreco also served as Deputy National Field Director for the Clinton-Gore '92 campaign and as a Consultant to the John Edwards for President and Kerry-Edwards campaigns.
"Pete Giangreco is one of the nation's leading political minds," Murphy continued. "He's a winner who chooses his battles wisely, and he's shown, through his work with Senator Obama and Mayor O'Malley, that he is the consultant of choice for the next generation of leaders."
Nanberg and Giangreco join a strong team that already included former Joe Hoeffel finance director David Heck and a strong grass roots network.
Murphy, an Iraq war veteran, former West Point professor, and former prosecutor, is running to unseat freshman Republican Michael Fitzpatrick. He has already been endorsed by Bucks County Commissioner Sandy Miller and Gen. Robert Kelly, USAF (Retired).
