Meehan and DiMartino were the lobbying firm’s first Democratic hires, when the traditionally Republican firm went bipartisan in 2007.
The pair will head spin-off firm Blue Line Strategic Communications. Two unnamed BGR staffers are joining them.
Meehan was chief of staff to Washington Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell, and an adviser on John Kerry’s presidential campaign.
BGR Group is a bipartisan government relations, strategic communications, and investment banking firm with offices in Washington DC and London.
