Senator Bob Casey has assembled a largely new press team.

Today, he announced the hiring of Jacklin Rhoads as Press Secretary and Emma Crisci as Press Assistant.

Rhoads is a Bucks County native and graduate of Penn State University. She previously worked as the Public Relations Director for the Philadelphia firm Cashman and Associates. During her tenure there she represented Atlantic City and worked on former Governor Rendell’s book rollout.

Crisci is from Mechanicsburg and just graduated from Villanova University with a degree in political science. She started out as an intern in Sen. Casey’s Philadelphia and D.C. offices and has already become an official member of the staff.

These moves were unveiled by the Senator’s Communications Director John Rizzo.
