Strategist joins Shorr Johnson Magnus


Democratic strategist Jim Jordan has joined Shorr Johnson Magnus.

A prominent national strategist who has worked for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and President-elect Barack Obama's media team, he'll be joining a firm that has advised prominent North Carolinians.

Saul Shorr, one of the firm's principals, was a consultant for unsuccessful Senate candidate Erskine Bowles, Gov. Mike Easley and Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue, all Democrats.

He told the Washington Post that he was excited about the new hire.

"Andrea Johnson, Adam Magnus and I are thrilled that Jim has accepted the offer to join our firm," he said. "We know it will make us stronger both in serving our political clients, and expanding our non-campaign business."
