Management and Government Resources, Inc. (MGR), a self-described bi-partisan government relations, announced Tuesday that former Assemblyman Scott Rudder (R-8) will join the firm as a partner.
“Scott will be a tremendous addition to our firm,” said Barry Lefkowitz, MGR’s founding partner, in a press release. “His background and energy will benefit our clients as well as positively impact our overall growth strategies.”
“While it’s true that my time as a mayor and legislator have given me the knowledge of how government works, I believe my background and experience in the private sector will bring the most value to our clients,” added Rudder. “Having lived in the profit and loss world and experienced firsthand how government rules and regulations impact industry, I understand better than most the needs and concerns of the business community. As a result, I am in an excellent position to put together a strategy and a message and advocate on behalf of our clients that are impacted.”
Rudder left the Assembly in January after he declined to seek renomination last year; Maria Rodriguez-Gregg, also a Republican, replaced Rudder as the 8th Legislative District’s junior legislator.
