I am very pleased to announce that we have a new addition to the FlashReport Blog Roll — our good friend Mark Standriff. Most FR readers will know Mark for his most recent professional sojourn as Communications Director for the California Republican Party — a position from which he is departing this week. With the election year upon us, Mark is engaging in a lot of fun new activities, which I am sure we will hear about as Mark is none too subtle about his actions and projects. Actually, one of the reasons I invited Mark to write for us is because, like me, he believes that politics is a contact sport!
Hailing from Toledo, Ohio, and being blessed with a face for radio (but fortunately a voice for radio as well), Mark has been a successful on-air radio personality. He is a talented media relations pro, and coach on public speaking. He’ll be a fine addition to this page.
Because we are trying to butter up the new guy, we’ve inserted a great photo of him (circa 2007). As things go, if it gets rocky, we’ll pull out some of our more recent photos that may not be as flattering…
