Blumenauer hires former FARA-registered consultant

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on March 27, 2015

The new communications director in Rep. Earl Blumenauer's (D-Ore.) office is new to the Hill but familiar with working in political public relations.

Nicole L'Esperance registered under the Foreign Agent Registration Act in 2013 while working for The Fratelli Group as a consultant for the government of Colombia. She left for the Hill this month after five years as client manager at the communications agency.

For Colombia, the new communications director wrote she would coordinate interviews, write press releases and develop overall media strategies in the registration. L'Esperance, who is from Greenville, North Carolina, earned a bachelor's in journalism and mass communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2009.
