Ohio Democratic Party Announces New Hire Focused on #OHSEN Republican Accountability
January 25, 2024
Columbus, OH – Today, the Ohio Democratic Party announced it has hired Katie Smith as Senior Communications Advisor. Smith will support the communications efforts of the Ohio Democratic Party with a specific focus on Republican accountability in the U.S. Senate race.
“The Ohio Democratic Party is excited to welcome Katie to the team as Senior Communications Advisor,” said Ohio Democratic Party Chair Elizabeth Walters. “Katie’s experience working in key battleground states will be critical to ensuring Ohioans know the Republican Senate field won’t fight for them – from overruling our voices by banning abortion nationwide and attacking our healthcare, to making it harder for Ohioans’ hard work to pay off.”
Smith previously served as Communications Director for frontline Democratic Congresswoman Susan Wild in Washington, D.C. and worked on Wild’s campaign communications team in Pennsylvania. She also served as Deputy Digital Director for the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
With Smith’s hire, Reeves Oyster — who previously filled the Ohio Democratic Party’s Senior Communications Advisor role — will transition into her new role as Communications Director for the Friends of Sherrod Brown campaign. Matt Keyes will remain the primary press contact for the Ohio Democratic Party. Inquiries pertaining to the Republican Senate primary can be directed to [email protected].
