One of the state’s premier lobbying firms has snagged one of the biggest names in political fundraising.
Jon Stewart started as a lobbyist at The Southern Group this week, bringing more than a decade of fundraising experience for campaigns ranging from presidential and gubernatorial races to municipal contests – his most recent wins were with Tampa City Council member Alan Clendenin and Sen. Shevrin Jones.
“Fundraisers make great lobbyists because they’ve mastered the art of relationships,” said Seth McKeel, former state Representative and managing partner of The Southern Group’s Tampa office. “That mastery translates to powerfully delivering results for our clients.”
