HOYER AIDE JOINS MONUMENT: Katie Grant Drew, a longtime communications staffer for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, has decamped from the Hill to join Monument Advocacy ’s public affairs practice. Drew won’t register to lobby, but will offer strategic advice to the firm’s clients on the policymaking process “and how they can best develop messaging to advance their priorities, so that they can advance their goals within that process,” she said in an interview, adding that she’s “really excited to take my knowledge of both how the Hill works, and my experience in strategic communications to help them achieve those goals.”
— “Monument Advocacy is fortunate to add Katie’s skill and experience to their team,” Hoyer said in a statement provided by the firm, calling Drew a “trusted advisor to me for the past sixteen years” whose “work has impacted every major policy debate during that time” and benefited the “entire Democratic caucus.”
