Wasserman Schultz Hires New Congressional Communications Director

Washington, DC, January 30, 2014
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) has hired Sean Bartlett to serve as the new Communications Director in her Congressional office.
Most recently, Bartlett worked as a senior officer on the United Nations Foundation’s public affairs team, where he led the communications work of the Foundation’s Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves initiative. He also supported the health, energy, and congressional advocacy teams at the Foundation during his tenure.
Bartlett has almost 4 years of prior Hill experience and also worked for Hildebrand Tewes Consulting during the 2008 election cycle.
“Sean brings substantial domestic and international press, policy, and political experience to his new role that will be invaluable to my work on behalf of the people of Florida’s 23rd congressional district,” said Rep. Wasserman Schultz. “I welcome him to the team and look forward to working with him.”
Bartlett holds a Master’s degree in Ethics, Peace & Global Affairs from American University’s School of International Service, and a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Stony Brook University.
Bartlett will guide Wasserman Schultz’s congressional communications team, which includes Senior Communications Adviser Mara Sloan, District Press Secretary Michael Liquerman, who is based in the Congresswoman’s Pembroke Pines office, and Laurie Flink, who serves as the Deputy District Director in the Congresswoman’s Aventura office.
