Paul Taps Veteran GOP Adviser

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) “is bringing on Republican strategist Chris LaCivita as a senior adviser as he prepares for a likely presidential campaign,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“As Mr. Paul seeks to bridge the gap between his tea party base and the party’s establishment wing, Mr. LaCivita can offer perspective from both sides. Most recently, he was dispatched to Kansas to help Sen. Pat Roberts beat back a challenge from an independent candidate, Greg Orman. Mr. LaCivita worked as political director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 2002 and in 2010, during Sen. Paul’s Senate campaign.”
