Lobbyists for McCain, A group of young K Streeters for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will spend Super Tuesday helping their candidate fill his presidential coffers. McCain himself won’t make it to the $100-per-person event — he plans to be in Arizona — but organizers say they are working on getting McCain to call in or video-conference in to the party.
“As momentum has grown, more people are coming on board,” said Kirk Blalock, a lobbyist with Fierce Isakowitz & Blalock, who is an organizer of the Young Professionals 4 McCain Committee.
Lobbyists on the 50-person host committee include Blalock’s colleague Kirsten Chadwick; Clark Lytle & Geduldig’s Sam Geduldig; Todd Weiss of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal; and Juleanna Glover of the Ashcroft Group. Among the newcomers is lobbyist Andrew Shore, a partner with Black Swan.
“After supporting Rudy Giuliani, with him out of the race, John McCain is the best candidate to keep the White House in Republican hands, and I believe that Tuesday will be a victory party,” he said.
