Hogan Gidley (Ole Miss BA 1998) has been hired by Speaker Mike Johnson.
Hogan Gidley has contracted with Speaker Mike Johnson as a strategic political and communications consultant.
Why it matters: Gidley, who remains in former President Trump's orbit, can be a conduit from the speaker's office to Trump's campaign, and vice versa.
We're told Johnson wants to help synthesize a unified Republican message up and down the ticket, and to amplify Trump's record heading into November.
The backstory: Gidley is a senior adviser at the America First Policy Institute, which is stocked with past (and potentially future) Trump officials.
Gidley was principal deputy press secretary in the Trump White House, and national press secretary for Trump's 2020 re-election campaign.
He previously worked for Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Elizabeth Dole.
