WHO IS MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS:
Nina is a Corporate backed media voice with 4 Super PACS, and her own PR Company backed by an International Lobbying group, & her own political party running oppo against the Democratic Party, and she permanently lives in Maryland.
She turned down a DC lobbying position with an International CORPORATE LOBBYING GROUP when Biden appointed Marcia Fudge, which then opened up OH-11.
She owns her own PR Co, Amare Public Affairs with partners of the powerful International Lobby Group, Mercury Public Affairs.
FROM OPEN SECRETS:
Who is Mercury Public Affairs?
Who are their clients?

Would ya look at ALL THOSE CORPORATE CLIENTS!!
WHO IS MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS that Turner is so closely tied to in financing & messaging?
Imagine all the good she'll do for (ahem) the people 😉 of OH-11, if only she could grab Marcia Fudge's empty seat.
Look closer.

(67,782 posts)Most of this is directly from their own website. In many cases they're reluctant to state that the people involved are republicans.
www.mercuryllc.com/capabilities/government-relations/
Al Barlas - Legislative Director for then-Assemblyman Declan OScanlon before serving as Chief of Staff to State Senator Kevin OToole (both republicans). Worked with the Governors (Christie) office on behalf of the Senator and Assemblyman. Chairman of the Essex County Republican Committee.

Caroline Delleney - Prior to joining Mercury, Caroline served as the Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director to the (republican) South Carolina Speaker of the House. Caroline previously spent six and half years in Washington, DC, working for a (republican) Congressman from South Carolina in various capacities. As his Executive Assistant, she directed and briefed the Congressman on his day-to-day activities and acted as a liaison between other Congressional offices. For most of her time in Washington, Caroline served as the Congressmans Communications Director. (note, they neglect to say who that is, it's Joe ("YOU LIE!" ) Wilson!)
Jack Deschauer - General Consultant to (republican) Congressman Ryan Costellos successful 2014 election campaign. Managed Pennsylvania (republican) Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggis web advertising for his campaign.

(15,325 posts)Maybe someone should ask her!
Maybe the Cleveland Plains Dealer should publish & question how she got herself involved with such a powerful global RW Lobbying Group?
Mercury's high dollar COPORATE & WALL STREET client list os astonishing.
How does an advocate for the little guy, oppressed by CORPORATE, WALL STREET, & foreign influences find herself in such a circle of associates in the 1st place
The little guy, right, oppressed by (ahem) Democrats like 'bowl of shit" Joe Biden, VP Harris, "campaign rigger & wall street speaker" Hillary Clinton, & "Stupid" JamesClyburn.? That's who she cries out loud for. Right? The little oppressed people, right?
What am I missing here? Something's not lining up on the truth scale.
Seems like someone's running a RW CORPORATE backed Populist campaign against the Democratic Leaders, with the intent to splinter the only Party of the people that ISN'T bought by a Foreign RW media machine.
But Who Could It Be? 🙄
Ya know what, If anyone's loose lips will sink a pirate ship guilding itself in shiny 'welcome oppressed little people' friendly banners & looking for a heist of the long standing Democratic Party, they found the perfect one.
Waiting for The Plains Dealer to publish,
"The BIG REVEAL."
"MONEY & MEDIA, BABY!!"

I'd expect there'll be nothing more said.
I do so hope they show themselves & we'll be sure to leave the explanation up for all readers to see.
