I don’t know Richard Edelman, but he has been quite successful in business, growing his public relations firm to be one of the largest and most influential on the globe. The reason why Edelman ended up tracking on my radar screen, as a publisher of a website on California politics, is that his company has just hired FR State Capitol Correspondent Dan Schnur to lead its California Public Affairs Practice.
What an outstanding pick by Edelman.
I have known Dan (pictured) for the better part of two decades now, and I know he is going to do a great job for Edelman, and its clients. But wait, before anyone assumes that my heaping of praise means that Dan is (like me) somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun, he is not. Dan’s somewhat more moderate in ideology than me, and definitely more moderate in his temperament. Nevertheless, it is a testament to Dan’s people skills that I consider him to be a good friend, and a political mentor.

There is a worldwide shortage of pubic relations and Dan Schnur is the man for the job. Despite the fact that he did not list me for a reference I agree with you Jon that this is a quality pickup. Congratulations Dan! Bill
