Congressman Larry Bucshon Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director Nick McGee To Move On
Dear City County Observer:
This is certainly a bittersweet email to send. After five fulfilling years serving Dr. Bucshon and the Hoosiers of Indiana’s Eighth District, my tenure comes to an end today.
What began as summer internship in Indiana, eventually brought me to the nation’s capital for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for a true public servant and an awesome boss. I can’t thank Dr. Bucshon enough for taking a (massive) risk by giving me a chance. We accomplished a lot together and, more importantly, had a hell of a time doing it.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with and alongside some tremendous people along the way who’ve helped me grow professionally and personally.
I’m know this is a temporary farewell and our paths will cross again soon. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can be of help or to just stay in touch. My personal cell phone number is 812-457-5231 and personal email is nickcmcgee@gmail.com. As of 5pm today, I will no longer have access to my house email address.
With respect to my next steps, I start a new opportunity as Director of Public Affairs at Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) on Monday, September 18.
Thanks for everything. Talk soon.
Nick McGee
Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director
