A diaspora of Hoosier politicos in DC made big job moves this week, a sign of the enduring and sprawling political networks forged by former Vice President Mike Pence and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
This week, the former vice president launched a new political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, ahead of a possible 2024 presidential bid, and added a half dozen former boldface names from the Trump administration as advisers, including former White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway and CMS Director Seema Verma.
Meanwhile, Pence s nephew, John Pence, a former Trump campaign official, joined the public affairs group of Ice Miller LLP, along with former national deputy political director for Pete Buttigieg s presidential campaign.
