Boston (January 28, 2011) – O’Neill and Associates, New England’s leading full-service government and public relations firm, today announced the hire of AmyClaire Brusch, former deputy chief of staff to Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Kansas), who has joined the firm as a vice president in the federal relations practice.
“We are thrilled to add AmyClaire to our team, and excited for what she brings to our clients,” said Chief Executive Officer Thomas P. O’Neill, III. “Her background in Republican politics and significant experience on Capitol Hill adds breadth and depth to our federal affairs practice.”
Before joining O’Neill and Associates, Ms. Brusch served as an aide to Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Kansas) in a succession of roles including legislative assistant, appropriations associate staff, legislative director, and deputy chief of staff. Her areas of concentration included appropriations, economic competitiveness, transportation, health care, budget, federal law enforcement, and homeland security.
Prior to this experience, Ms. Brusch acted as legislative correspondent and legislative assistant for the office of now-Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Additional government experience includes an internship with the office of Governor A. Paul Cellucci and a policy research position for the Board of Selectmen in Belmont, Massachusetts.
In recent years, Ms. Brusch played significant roles in a number of political campaigns. She was a policy advisor for Todd Tiahrt’s 2010 bid for U.S. Senate and a volunteer in both the Washington, D.C. and Boston offices of Scott Brown’s 2010 U.S. Senate campaign.
