LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts says he has hired a Bennington native with experience in Washington as his new strategic communications director.
Alex Allen Reuss will replace Taylor Gage, who left the governor’s office last week to take a new job as executive director of the Nebraska Republican Party.
Reuss began her career as a member of U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer’s policy team in Washington D.C. She also worked as a legislative advisor at the U.S. Department of Justice and launched Penn Ave Strategies, a Nebraska-based communications firm.
In a statement, Ricketts says Reuss distinguished herself through hard work, attention to detail and communication skills.
