Kaptur staffer is good news for government broadcaster

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 25, 2023

Amid a "renaissance" for the government news network, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has hired a new advocate from the office of Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio).

Jon McKinley is now a government-relations manager for RFE/RL, which is congressional funded. RFE/LR broadcasts mainly in countries that lack free press and has seen renewed significance since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

McKinley was most recently Kaptur's legislative assistant for foreign affairs. He's also worked for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and served as a commissioned officer in the Army Reserve.
