Brian Gaston, a longtime advisor to Republicans on Capitol Hill, is joining The Glover Park Group as managing director of its government affairs practice.

Gaston most recently served as leadership advisor to Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO). Prior to that, he served four years as Blunt’s chief of staff.

“Few, if any, people understand the Hill and the legislative landscape better than Brian does,” said Joel Johnson, managing director of The Glover Park Group’s government affairs practice.

Gaston is perennially listed as one of Roll Call’s ‘Top 50 Congressional Staffers.’ Prior to working for Blunt, he was policy director for House Majority Leader Dick Armey.

The Glover Park Group offers a variety of communication services to its clients, including advocacy and image advertising, media relations, crisis management and research. The firm is based in Washington D.C. and also has offices in New York and Los Angeles.
