Ed Patru

Ed Patru, a veteran Republican operative, served as a senior advisor in the first Trump Administration, specializing in narrative development, reputation and issues management, and crisis mitigation. He is a seasoned corporate campaign strategist who has advised Fortune 500 companies in a variety of sectors, corporate founders and CEOs, university presidents, celebrities, and law firms.

Mr. Patru is a veteran spokesman of numerous high-profile Republican political campaigns, including presidential, gubernatorial, and congressional races. In 2010, he was the chief communication advisor to Connecticut businesswoman Linda McMahon in one of the nation’s most closely watched races for the U.S. Senate. He served for nearly six years on Capitol Hill as a national spokesman and strategist for House Republicans, both on the campaign trail and in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Washington Post described him as “the message chief for House Republicans,” after he successfully overhauled the message and communications strategy for the Iraq War, one of the most politically treacherous policy initiatives in recent memory.
